Why does America have to fight other nations wars?

It all goes back to money and power, there is many special interest that want Israel protected.

Communism is actually a great idea for a perfect society but if that works than money and power would be lost everywhere so sabotaging them for their own agenda.

Hello,, ever heard of "The New World Order"? The United Nations of One. The path is laid out and the destruction of the smaller is just the stepping stones to the larger more dangerous objectives. Don't be fooled by the lying scum of the earth. If you don't believe what they say VOTE THEM OUT!!! Wake up America!! your children are going to be the cannon fodder for the rich and richer. Soon the American ways of life will be tomorrows history, just as the Political agendas killed off the American Indians to allow the expansion of Democracy. Open your eyes and ears to the sound of blood dripping from every country, our political agenda should be with spending the hard earned tax dollars on the needy and building a future for our children and their children's children, but instead get use to the end of blue skies and tall grasses, cool water and wild life. Not killing the so called terror groups(the organized crime groups are everywhere) look at the privatization of war, no involvement means death to you and me.

The United States had the position that you were are asking for before World War I and World War 2. In both wars, we were pulled into them due to attacks against our citizens by militaries hostile to the USA.

In WW1, we lost over 1,500 people on the sinking of the Listinua and in WW2 we were attacked by the Japanese.

As the last super power and the strongest nation economically, we have obligations to try to keep the peace in other parts of the world.

Lets look at terrorism for a moment. Since the Beruit bombing of our military baracks when Reagan was president, we have had planes hijacked and US Citizens killed (a couple of friends of mine from college were on the hijacked plane back in 1983). We have had US Embassays bomb, the USS Cole was attacked, and most recently we had 3,000 people killed. The single most deadlist attack on US Citizens in the history of our country. Why primarily because we are the USA and certain groups of people do not like us because of our economic might and influence around the globe.

Now that we have finally gone on the offensive after 20+ years of terrorist attacks, we are the bad guys and shouldn't be involved in these things. The constant spewing of garabage from the democrats is sickening. They initially supported the war, but now are flip flopping like a fish out of water. Why? Simply because they want to be in charge.

Unfortunately we don't have a choice in these matters. Every country is asking us for help and typically we give it because we are good people. Our troops are still in Europe and Japan keeping the peace after 60 years. We are still in Korea and I have a feeling we are going to be in the Middle East for quite a long while as well.

I think you are wrong because when you get right down to it this planet is not very big. Their are idiots out there who think the US is the center of the universe but its not. We need allies and for the most part we need those allies to be free. China is one of the few exceptions of countries with governments we don't agree with that will do business with us. Everyone has a staked interest in the well being of the rest of the world because our continued existence is reliant upon our ability to get along with one another. It looks bleak now but the people who say violence begets violence are wrong. The price of freedom, peace democracy, it isn't free. The cost is always blood, no matter where you go.

We should not over extend our selves or go to war over personal issues, like in Iraq, but we should pay attention to our neighbors, because without them we would wither and die.

We "minded our own business" from the end of WWI until December 7, 1941.

During that time malicious dictators killed millions people world wide......Think "Holocaust"

We can not be an isolationist nation.

Have you read about the Cuban Missile Crisis where USSR based nukes 90 miles away from our shores?

What about the ethnic cleansing going on in Serbia and the Balkans?.

We must always rise to protect our national interests and if that means intervening, well then we must

Would you like Iran to control our oil supply?

Would you like somebody like Yassar Arafat to loose suicide bombers in Baltimore?

We are not all "One World"

the real reason is it makes some people an awful lot of money....and keeps the military industrial complex dragon well fed. The other reason is that some of those other countries you speak of have infiltrated our govermental structure with spies and agents who are american citizen. They are so good at it that they are also all over our media and belong to both political parties.

If you dont believe what I am saying about the infiltration of our gvt. then take a look at the roster of the Bush administration and pay particular attention to people who have had an influence on foreign policy...then ask yourself what other master that maybe they might be serving other than the american people.

Cuba and China might mean the end of civilization. As for everything else, just trying to effectuate this little thing called globalization for the elite and Zionists.

America tried isolation. It didn't work. We were attacked and drawn into the fighting in World War II. We were attacked on 9/11 too, but there is also the supply of oil from the Middle East to think about. There are no answers.

It doesn't. If the US wants to help they should send teachers and doctors rather than soldiers.

Teachers and doctors are needed. If you send soldiers, regardless of your intention you will be thought of as an invader.

Have you ever walked into a marital dispute with a gun in your hand? That is assuming the US isn;t really just going around stealing. We'll give you the benefit of the doubt if you stop sending soldiers.

maybe if we see someone being attacked and robbed, but it is not on our block we should just look the other way, I mean its not on block how could it affect us.

If drug dealers are dealing drugs one block over it wont ever effect us will it?

We fight wars and get involved in other countries becuase what happens outside of our area eventually comes to us.

Just like the drug dealers a block away will eventually move onto your block so will the problems going on in the rest of the world
