Is America the World's Policemen?

[pentoman]

I keep out of the war threads. I'm young, I don't read the newspaper much, I don't know much about the situation, and I've no idea what a liberal is, nor do I care so please don't try to explain! :p

However one thing caught my eye in a thread I found myself reading..

This is the first I've heard of anything like this so thought I'd get some opinions.



Your homework for tonight is to answer these 3 questions FULLY trying to look at BOTH SIDES of the story:

1. Do you think America are the World's Policemen
2. Do you think America should be the World's Policemen, if so/not, why
3. How would this idea seem to the rest of the world that is being 'policed', eg Europe or the Middle East

Please, once you have given your answers, THAT'S IT! Don't post replies and counter-arguments. If you need to do that, you didn't think your answers through well enough!

I'm just trying to gather people's answers to the questions, not retorts or opinions on each other's answers.. I don't want this to turn into another 500-reply thread
Don't post news articles or anything, it's dull.
If it gets boring I'll probably just delete the thread!

good luck
