And why is that?[/QUOTE]
You really believe that America should be the police of the world? If so, than you're just as bad as your ignorant president.
What if we - as Europeans - believe that America is doing something wrong, and invade your country with troops 'for protection'? Would the American population appreciate that?

To add to this:
'The American Way' is not absolute, and it is by no means an ideal solution.
By forcing it upon others, you are doing exactly the same as the Crusaders, the Muslim extremists, the Soviet Union, etc.

Yes, exactly. Who is to decide who is right or wrong here?

To state something I said in another post....
Yes, America is f*ing things up...I'll freely admit to that.
But don't see Europe standing up to make us stop...in fact I see a Europe where many of your countries are standing side by side with us. Now, that means your countries at least a partially responsible for this "forcing beliefs on others".
Granted, I don't think our President would listen to anyone in Europe, but that isn't the point. It's easy to spout off the ideals that you directly violate by your physical actions. If European countries dislike what we do so much, why are they going it with us? Stand up for what you believe is right...then you can criticize.

I am about 99% confident that you didn't read my post at all, took something entirely out of context, and created a baseless argument.
What I said was entirely true, however the entire argument was based on the fact that military should be used exclusively for defense. If anything, that meaning was pervasive throughout my post.
If American troops were stationed everywhere, there isn't any doubt that genocides and tyrant regimes would be eliminated, or that capitalism and free trade would be promoted. These are good things. However, not only is this unreasonable, but it defeats the purpose of a military, which is used exclusively to defend.
You seem embittered, and jumpy, so I'll try to ignore your unreasonable ire. However, please try to read posts more thoroughly in the future.
