“America’s Responsibility to the Rest of the World”

America has little military responsibility to other countries like sending military

forces everywhere in the world in to discharge it responsibility to protect

American’s. Why is it so hard to understand that America is not the savior of

other countries? When we do things alone and other countries, the people of

those countries aren’t doing it for themselves, as soon as we leave, we start

getting the same problems. Millions of American’s live below poverty level, yet

we give billions to other countries, deploying our military men and women to

assist in their aid. I don’t mean hand people money, but what I am saying is let

these countries figure out their own problems instead of sending our husbands,

our wives, our young adults who are honestly not ready for this type of

engagement. American households are being affected by these types of decisions

on a daily basis. Whose responsibility is it to protect these countries and their

people? We must question why and how the government has decides if we go to

war and who decides to send our men and women in harm’s way. America cannot

afford to be dragged into more endless, undeclared combat missions that batter

the souls of our military families and drive us further into debt. Our government

has no obligation except to protect the American people when we are

threatened. America has absolutely nothing to gain by intervening in other

countries disputes. Besides, we have so much more to lose. We simply cannot

and should not be the policeman of other countries. The actual dilemma isn’t in

deciding whether to protect other countries from their government, but rather

what conditions warrant intervention. Military intervention is wrong and will

handicap our country even more with endless debt, loss of life, and a reputation

of using its position as a way of power control of the world. America would make

much more progress...
