Imagine any self-appointed policeman (think George Zimmerman, the heavily-armed neighborhood watchdog) - clumsily inflaming every situation by eager, misguided, unilateral bullying.
Why's the USA a self-appointed world policeman? Costs too much !
We're an arms-dealing busybody: pushing-in & causing problems.
We spent $16,000+ on Iraq war per American. Many gave their lives. That's $80,000 for a US family of five. (We've now fewer families of 5... we can't afford the costs - can't afford these wars).
We could have saved lives and used the money to pay each Iraqi $150,000 (forty years their average annual income).
We've yet to pay for Vietnam. US combat boots still trample Afghanistan...
It's more important America invests in its own infrastructure than butt-in on far away sectarian, ethnic, tribal conflicts. Militarism causes trouble. Our militarism kills us.
