Ironic that the world looks at the US so poorly when we "police the world", and then when we actually stay out of something, they bitch about that too. We didn`t used to be this way. Look at WWI and WWII. We just stayed out of it, supporting the allies through limited trade, and for a purely economical reason. It was only when the allies lost the ability to protect themselves or evenour own ships when they were in their waters that we were forced to step in. And a lot of Americans died. No other country should be surprised that we jump in so early now... and when we choose not to, they should keep silent, since it`s really what they ask for every other time.
