That was a good question, but the answer is indeed a complex one. It is not that America is not taking care of its own problems they are very well aware of their problems and they carefully deal that. Now answering ur question why do they iuntervene in others issue. I have to state a few points here, if u turn back the pages of history America was instrumental in forming a grp called taliban. It was funding them with money and arms to fight the Russians who were advancing into Afghanistan, when they felt talibans are no more good boys to america they banged them with bombs, next in Iraq, it is not because America felt Iraq is a threat to the world, it is bcos of the oil from iraq, everyone have to understand that US is basically a capitalist country whose aim is only money and also it is a well know fact that many of the top politicians in US own a oil compnay. Iraq was fixing its own price for oils and selling it to the asian continent. Us felt they lost control in the industry and hence they waged a war against them in the pretext of de-throning sadam, now they r fixing their own price. Now iran is a threat in this industry and hence it is giving pressures to iran. It clearly shows the american intention of ruling the world.

I don't thing that's wrong. Who don't want to stay first?I appreciate the mentality of americans, they want to acheive their goal, they want to show their superiority to the world so they were involving in solving the problems of other nations they were at the same time they were selfish people. They know well how to save their own nation.

Americans like to intervene in political issues because they want other countries to look up them as "SUPER HEROES" and always in the frontpage of the different Newspapers.

America is a war-monger my friends.And as such they live on war.If their dollar starts to slide and lose value they will just start a war.
Now they are focusing on Iran.Don't you know there is oil there?Greedy as they are,they have not quenched their blood-thirst and they are not even satisfied with their plundering of oil in Iraq.
Greed and gain.Power,to be able to appear to be ruling the world.They want to rule the world.They want all the valuable resources in the world.And they are not satisfied with morality,peace and tranquil in the whole world.They want to spread all their immoralities and filth to other countries in the name of human rights.What exactly is a human right when you rape the poor Iraqi females and MALES too!And there was very little activity as concerns violence and rape until the Americans invaded poor little Iraqi.And now what,scores of people die everyday.Prisoners are sexually abused.Iraqi women were raped.How very filthy.
I think the Devil itself is behind the political leadership of that country.No God inspired person could do that.

Well, we don't forget our own problems; we're always fighting over them! We intervene because we truly believe that everyone in the world should have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to be happy, freedom of education, etc. We also intervene to try and protect our economy.

as a super power you have to intervene
the only problem is we only intervene in countries that can provide us with pretty end story is money or something useful... how come we never go and intervene in the crisis in africa genocide is killing millions of people every year there and we sit back and do nothing... thats because they have nothing to offer us so why help someone if they wont give back...

Because these political issues directly effect the problems of the US. Have you ever wondered why the US seems to have everything, only been in existance since 1700's, and many countries have been around 1000's of years and the people still live in the middle ages at best? The US and some alies develope the infrastructure of many so called backward countries for a piece of their oil, gas, minerals, cheap workforce and many other things.
While using countries from the Middle East & Africa as an example they have been in existance for 1000's of years and what have they developed themselves? Vertually nothing. The development has been done by outsiders from many nations and a lot of it financed by the US where-in lies the problem. The elete few control the money and can't afford to let their people share in the wealth for fear of their losing control.
It is a vicious cycle. The more problems they can generate for us the more we will pay with money, technology, people and the worst of all blood. And the civilaians have to pay

Very good question indeed. Thank you.
Intervention is due to political gain
Intervention is for economic gain
Intervention is because, one of the countries involved requests US to intervene.
Intervention because, American interests will have to be protected at all costs.
Intervention because it is world's strongest, greatest leader.
Intervention because (finally) Americans suffered due to terrorists and wherever terrorists are attacking, USA wants to support that country to fight terrorism. I am honest in giving my opinions unbiased.
