Police of the World

Recently I was on the radio with a friend and we were talking about the US's situation overseas. We talked about how the US is practically the world's police force. With out soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan, and now there is talk about moving troops into Libya. What my friend and I discussed is how we believe that the United Nations and/or the European Union should step up and fight for justice. Now don't get me wrong, I believe that fighting the Taliban and other terrorists that would do the US harm is the US's job. The US though does not have be the the police for the world. Yes there is injustice in the world. Yes justice does need to be sought for and fought for. No, the US should not be the only country that does fight for justice around the world. However, maybe this is one of the reasons why America is the greatest nation in the world... because we see injustice, we see genocide, and we put our foot down and say enough. While the US plays the role of the world's police, and wrongfully so, justice does need to be fought for, but maybe it is time that the world's sheriff hires a few deputies.
