The US CANNOT BE the savior of the world! It is folly to try!

What is wrong with that as an ultimate goal?

You'd rather communism be the "savior" of the world?

The problem is that the US doesn't have bottomless resources to function as the ever-open wallet to bail out every other area of the globe. The blood and treasure for these kinds of enterprises ultimately comes from the American citizens, as soldiers or taxpayers. Why don't the people who want the US to function as such (like yourself) do so with their OWN asses or money, and leave the rest of us free to save America itself from leviathan government and imperial overstretch?

We all know the answer to that one!

The goal is somewhat a lofty idea. The cost to Americans would be great if we tried to change the world by force would'nt you agree. Especially when I see that a percentage of Iraqis are not pleased that we have given them their freedom. It reminds me of the Jehovahs witnesses that sometimes come around my neighborhood. My father had made the mistake of allowing a group of them into our home once and it seemed like they were trying to force their views on us and show us why they are right and are beliefs were wrong. Now when I see them I can't help but have a nautious feeling in my gut and want to say a few unchristian like things to them. In their minds I guess they too believe they are saving the world..
