I got caught into a argument with some folks who seemed to enjoy blaming the United States for all the ills of the world, especially the current goings on in Syria.

Well I will be the first to say that the U.S. is not guiltless, however the U.S. isn't alone when it comes to the blame game.

I am getting very tired of the U.S. being the world's whipping boy, we get dragged into other countries battles and when it goes badly we always seem to be the ones to get blamed.

Yes we have made serious mistakes when it comes to foreign policy and I am starting to think we should have No policy.

We let the UN involve us in things that our absolutely none of our business. Especially when the Brits or British interests are involved.

I was listening to Jim Marrs the other day and he made a great point, back when we had the department of war we had three wars. Spanish American war, WWI and WWII now that we have the department of defense (which sounds much nicer) we have had Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Columbia, Iraq 1 and 2, Afghanistan and the 4 or 5 we are in now that we have a Nobel Peace Prize winner as president.... Something doesn't seem to ad up here.

I really think we need to tell the United Nations to take a hike and bring ALL our troops home and start protecting our borders instead of sending our young men and women off to die for things that don't involve us.

I welcome debate but please no emoticons or insults address the issue and leave the cutesy remarks to the paid comedians.

I was going to post a simple thumbsup but you said no emoticons.

I agree the US get's or maybe I should say allows itself to get dragged into far to many conflicts that we really should stay out of but to completely withdraw from the world theater would certainly take time. The power vacuum left behind would certainly create turmoil...look no farther than Egypt then imagine that happening on a global scale.

You are right about the power vacuum, but we need to start somewhere... I think we should start with the middle east. The turmoil there is already more than we can handle and its not going to end anytime soon no matter what the U.S. does.

Ideally I would like to see us spend the resources at home. Shore up our own borders to slow illegal immigration and focus on improving legal immigation. Knock down our debt. Maintain a strong and ready military. And always be vigilant and ready to defend the defensless. Maybe just maybe then the world would view us as they did in the days of our grandparents and great grandparents.

Indeed and the Socialists don't seem to understand that they are being duped by the elite that want to bring about the New World Order. The trilateral commission and the Rothschild and Rockefeller bunch that already has all the money now they are bored and want all the power as well. All us useless eaters as they call us need to wise up before its too late

I think if someone took a poll of ordinary Americans, people who are not affiliated with government or anything other than just trying to live a normal life, raise their children and be happy, the percentage of people who don't want to get involved in other countries problems would probably be over 90%. Unfortunately, the government is composed mostly of politicians and most of them used to be lawyers so to think they would be able to mind their own business is really asking a lot.

The Syrian conflict, just as the Libyan, started when CIA, MI-6 and Mossad agents fired into a peacefully demonstrating crowd and threw explosive devices among them. It has nothing to do with Syrian people rising up against their dictator. The so-called "rebels" are on CIA payroll.

This is the reason Putin is cracking down on non-government organisations that receive US financing.

A politician from the EU parliament obtained a leaked document from the very secretive Bilderberg group. He reckons the plan is not a One World Government, but a One World Corporation because the one who controls the finances controls the world.

You are coming close to the truth...

If that was true how come the US government could not stop waging wars after wars? Aren't the people simply pathetic?

That's alright. Everyone is entitled to blame and point fingers at America whenever things aren't going so well in the world.

Just remember for each hand pointing a finger, 3 are pointing back.
