The Roosevelt Corollary does not set the US out as guardian and protector of the Western hemisphere. It does, however, reserve to us (and only us) the right to intervene should any country in the Western Hemisphere act irresponsibly in erroding its own "orderly freedom[s]."

I don't know how you could post those two sentences back to back and not notice the contradiction.

I have a reading recommendation for you.

The Roosevelt corollary does not say that we will intervene whenever we want to, but only to advance certain objectives, "orderly freedom" being first among them. And you're too late, I've already read Theodore Rex.
