kissinger and obama have won a noble "peace" price.
Says it all really.
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Yup, they like blowing themselves up, so we are blowing them up from predator drones. It's been working so-so.
yea, but they never invited you to their country in the first place to abide to their culture, and its not really cool being sarcastic about the unrightfully murder of innocent lives.
its their citizens, their country. who invited u?! thats the question, not what theyre doing in their own house, theres all kinda crazy stuff happening all around the world why there was no action taken?!!
Part of it is because we have been expected to be the world police (except only in part). Damned if we do, damned if we don't. Still, the power-mongers in charge need to be honest with themselves, and with us about the nature of our involvement in foreign lands.

Expected? by Who?,
bully>police
btw all of these countries have thousands of years of history over the US., and history is being repeated, at a different place in a different time with different people.

The only people that I ever hear say this, are American themselves. Why is that?

The link suggests that the US can be called on, and conduct themselves as paid mercenaries, in doing the dirty work of other nations if and when requested. For a handsome fee of course.
Is this the behavior, actions of what you would consider to be that of the 'world police'?
