Why does the U.S.A. get involved in foreign matters such as Kony?

The US likes to flex its muscles and act like the world police, when in reality, we need to police our own country.

We're our there trying to save people who don''t want to be saved, spending money we don't have, losing lives of people who don't want to fight, and meanwhile, illegal immigrants and corrupt politicians are draining our country dry. Half the people are too ignorant to see it, and the other half don't know how to change it.

"Voting out" the current people won't work. The problem with the US government is that we don't have anybody fighting for the people. All the politicians are only out for their own best interests. As a result, when elections come around, we have a choice of voting for a crook on one hand, or an idiot on the other.

I understand your point but! African soldiers need guide they didn't have the technology to track kony like the u.s does. it's a huge massacre and the u.s president decided to send troops once Americans started asking for help to capture and so many Americans showed concern that the u.s maybe felt obligated to help? However , I do think the u.s or any country alone should be working on their own most wanted :/ world is full of bad people and they need to catch their own first

The State Dept. is in charge of formulating your "why's"-

they see American interests compelling them to dominate everything everywhere.

But, when this guy was being a threat

the USA stayed out of Congo.

The Ugandan Government asked for advise last year, so a few retired military volunteered to go.

We didn't send "troops"--we sent about 100 advisers. It's a humanitarian mission.

Watch the video.

Everyone b*tches about us until they actually need something
