Exposed: The Obama Invasion of Syria

[festive1]

I do not defend Obama in every single action he has undertaken. I am making a destinction between your domestic problems and foreign policy. What ever your countries people may think of intervention, as long as your country officialy states to be the leader of the free world, it has to serve those responsibilities. That may have been previously abused as recently as during the Bush administration, but it it does not excuse looking away when something happens that may require intervention.

Who died and made the US responsible for dealing with all the bad things that various countries do? There is a link between our foreign wars, current economic issues, and a considerable amount of the political division in the US. Domestic problems, in part, stem from our foreign policy. How are we ever going to get out of the role of "World Savior" without simply putting it down? If we continue intervening all the time, it just perpetuates itself and becomes a vicious cycle. We can't break the cycle by doing the same thing. We can break it by doing something different, like trying diplomacy or not intervening militarily in every single situation that displeases us. Instead of looking away, maybe pressure the international community to pick up the slack. We don't have to look away, but we certainly cannot continue using our military in all of these instances.
