After the horror of trench warfare our country wanted to mind its own business, we were attacked, and thus we entered the war.
Wait, you just dogged America for NOT acting quickly enough. Now we're doing too much. This is where we find ourselves, if we dont do anything we're turning out backs to the world, if we DO do something we suddenly become the evil-empire.

you have quite misunderstood me... I don't think ive pissed on any graves in my life and don't intend to start now but perhaps you could offer some insight there...I was not dogging america for not acting quickly enough, I was merely arguing with Mojo about how we were appointed default leaders of the world... If you scroll up you'll see that he said we were appointed leaders by default because we were the only ones left standing and everyone else had been slaughtered... I pointed out that everyone else was slaughtered because they had been fighting the war years before us, and they shouldn't exactly be looked down upon for losing their citizenzs. I'm also not critizing america for taking action in cases like Iraq. on the contrary i support some of the decisions we make, my only point is that we should keep ourselves in check by remembering that we don't "have the right to do it because we are the leaders of the world by default" rather that we chose to do things as we see fit for the benefit of ourselves and hopefully others as well. Once we recognize that we lead by choice not by divine right, then we should also consider the bad feelings that are generated as a result of our actions and try to earn others' respect if we are in a position of power.
