You've been reading too much Kipling, I see. The "White Man's Burden?" Nope... Not this country. Kipling is good but he was a true son of his empire.

Stick to being a Constitutional Republic and let the rest of the world go their own way as long as they leave us alone. Besides, if we treat them like children we have to support them. If you wanna do that, do it your damn self and leave my country out of it. These United States are NOT papa to the world and we have no business trying.

But does any country really leave us alone, not providing any influence on us in anyway?

My point is that people behave best when they are compelled to do so. There is nothing wrong with disciplining a child, a classroom, a company or a foreign country that steps out of bounds. In fact, the lack of discipline has boosted many of our current world problems.
