We're not the world's policemen.

I didn’t say we were - I was just wondering how Sarah would like to see Allah sort them - by age or by height? But as far as that “world’s policeman” thing goes, I’d much rather be a cop than a victim. In fact, when I look around the world and start assigning roles, I’m not unhappy to be judge and jury as well. No nation in the history of civilization has acted more aggressively as an advocate for people subjugated by despots and tyrants, and I don’t think there’s any reason to stop now. What do you think Europe would have looked like without the Marshall Plan? Who do you think would have turned the Japanese into vassals if not for the US? Sure we’ve been a bit late to the party sometimes or a little ham-fisted, but Americans fundamentally believe that getting the boot of oppression off the necks of a bunch a desperate people is the right thing to do.
