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.

How was the Marshall Plan (or Russian/European relief 20 years earlier) being a policeman? And remind me how that “boot of oppression” thing worked in Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Egypt, Libya, Somalia, Haiti, with the Kurds and etc.??

This conflict isn’t “winnable” in any sense. There are no good guys. This is why the overwhelming number of Americans oppose intervention.

Stormer, you are so wrong that even an amateur historian wouldn't know where to begin.

America wouldn't have had a Marshall plan had we stayed home during WWI.

There would have been no WWII. The Soviet Union would have died on the vine and crumbled under its own Marxist weight. That means there would have been no Korea, no Communist China, no Vietnam and no Muslims over here blowing up buildings and no US intervention in Muslim nations.

America can't even defend itself. Our porous borders are an example of a nation in serious decline. We need to be taking a meat axe to our monstrous central socialist government. There's an enemy for us to recognize and decapitate. We nonchalantly have allowed an evil Communist regime to exist a mere 90 miles from our coast, yet we're eager to jump into a Muslim civil war.
