It makes me wonder, what would happen to the world if the US was not
the planet's policeman. Would things for us be better or worse?
Good question. You could make the argument that it's better to put
out small fires before they grow into big ones. I think you could
also make the argument however that we were better off, at least in
the short run, when Iran and Iraq kept busy fighting each other.
I think we either need to embrace the roll of international policeman or be
very, very careful about getting involved. I don't think we can call fall
back to an isolationist position, as there are just too many things that
could adversely affect us, and we should be willing to be proactive when
necessary, but are leaders need to think things through before they act.
