is the americans....trying to be the world police ..?

I think our government is trying to be the worlds police, not the people. They try to enforce what they believe to be in the best interests of our nation (as all countrys do), however since some in the government want to use force instead of leadership. The people in power right now have a philosophy of greed and destruction which has brought so many problems to the world and our own people. I don't think any other country will bring us down, we are destroying ourselves without any help at all.

I want to add that I don't think Americans fear India. I think most of us like India. I know many Indians who I went to school with and work with, most are American citizens but have family back in India still.

Not that I typically would respond to a question with a question, but in this instance I think it is appropriate.... Why do so many other countries in the world look to the U.S. when they have troubles, disasters, etc.? Why are we the country called upon when there's a tsunami, earthquake, drought, famine, so on and so on? Why is the U.S. so quickly criticized if our response to such a disaster or need is considered too slow?

Do you anything about America? Have you ever read any history of our country? When I went to school, I was tought a few things about other countries, and world history. It wasn't a lot , but it was enough to make me want to learn more. Do schools in India, Iran, China, Syria, Egypt teach their children about America? Do they teach about how our forefathers liberated us from the tyranny of living under the rulership of a King? Do they teach about how our forefathers fought tooth and nail to free Africans from the captivity of slave owners?My point is, before condemming us, learn something of our history. We are told here that the schools in places like Iran and Syria teach nothing about us, other than Americans are the infidels. They are taught to hate us from the start. Do you think that Americans are happy to die in Iraq? No, they are doing something that they believe in. They are helping the Iraqi people obtain and hold on to a democratic government. Not a government that is controlled by religion. Rather, one that is controlled by the people. Have you ever read our constitution? You should, it will explain to you what America is all about. Also, if you read some world history, you will find that most overseas conflicts that America has been involved in, we became involved in because our friends and allies asked for our help. That would include ww1-ww2-and the first gulf war. Hussein invaded Kuwait and Kuwait asked for our help. Personally, I think that some freedom desiring Iraqi's engaged the US government to intervene in Iraq, but that is just my opinion. As far as being taught a lesson, I think 9-11 did that for us. And god willing, we will never see anything like that again here. I don't think we have to fear China, or India. We have strong economic ties and political ties with both, and no visible signs of tensions with either. But if you see something that tells a different story, please share it.

I agree with,so many inncent people are dying because of america.I ok,we get that their strong ,but they need to stop thrtining people.They need to mind their own business.

yes, they are. for a simple reason that they are the most powerful country in the world. they can do whatever they want., they dont care of what un's opinion is. i think UN doesnt mean anything to US they themselves take matters in their own hands

you are 50-50 right as well as wrong.what happened to america on 11th sep shouldnot be supported,how can you ever say that?we must condemn it.but on the other hand its definitely right that some one will definitely teach them a good lesson.ya it may be india or china.they are fearing india in the way we are developing in every sphere.by next 50 -60years we will surpass them.thats for sure both in power and economy.america hasbeen dicataing us for along time.they think they are the rulers of the world.but not so from now.if they give us a slap i bet we will give them a punch in return thats for sure.

They are too week to be the police of the world. They can't even get out of the trouble they are in with the terrorists.

yes ... i think thye are..sometimes they do good things but sometimes they just follow their interests...

Im American, I see no reason for us to fear India, Im an Average American so my view of India is a peace loving Hindu nation... You say Japan, that was not World Policing that was World War, The chinese are to busy trying to copy our way of life to bring war to us, America should fear an Iran with Russian,Chinese Support, but then agian us Americans dont fear anything' we are unmatched in Milatary Technology,

the american economy is highly dependant on war. that gives them a chance to sell their prized weapons at hefty costs. thats why they sent saddam to the gallows. to try to instigate an unrest. that would result in a large sale of their weapons; thus fuelling the american economy. SIMPLE

it really true ..america is trying to be world police...specially in the tenure of bush. in past also it was like that which resulted in vietnam war and at last they withdraw...coz their losses where quite huge compare to their estimation.. same thing happened in afgan and they left the country war torn and went to iraq and same thing will happen there too. at last us will withdraw from iraq as defeated and still say that they r victrious... involving in other activities too much results the detoration of the image of us in the eye of other country and they thing they have enough wealth and equipments and they over estimate themself..and at last us may get back attcked ...coz of too much involvment in other country operation

yes they are trying to be world police... especially in police of middle east:-))

ya, its really scared of India. thats why the nuclear pact... and India's PM was just signing it???!!!!!!! thats idiotic man....

why you put all "s...t" on americans? don't touch apex, try to see whole picture.

hey bingo u hit the nail right on the head..it can be rightly described as the 21st century imperialist..trying to impose its will every where in the world..be it afghanistan ,vietnam or iraq..its just a matter of time before it wi be brought on its knees . i think bush should be impeached and tried for war crimes .take care.

your correct because America is a large country it self they have power, money, etc... they think they rule the world cause they are a powerfull country. but stuff like the united states can have nuclear weapons and so can developed countries. but Korea and other developing countries are not allowed to have nuclear weapons... etc...

I think the american governmnet should stop getting involved in other country's problems. By getting involved they are wasting all the resources they have.

hello mate, first of all i think we should seperate our discussion with God as ,many people have raised this issue, Religion is a personal matter so instead of getting into this idea of religion in each and everything of your life you should first consider the nature of problem because its possible that evern non believers are reading our post so please consider being related to the topic not God, I am personally a religious person and believe in religion but putting a topic like this and attaching it to God could be irritating for non believers or even for some wise believers. Now secondly you asked about America. There could be two cases , if say they are trying to be the world police then they have a right to do coz everybody is given brains and if they utilize their own senses and are able and successful in controling the world then they are deserving for this position. In other case say you might be accusing them to be like that as it is possible that they are not controling the world at all.. As it is explained more in details and with a better prospective my the responders before me so its not necessarily important to write more in this topic for me. Wishing you all Peace and happiness
