text: do you think america has the right to get involved with other countries problems? as an american i feel that we get involved with many countries problems and try to solve them.  i would like to see how other people view this and if they think we have a right to do this or not. i agree that we get ourselves in too many conflicts around the world, but as the only true superpower left in the world, as a permanent member of the un security council, and as one of the eight (possibly 9 or 10 if north korea and iran continue on their course of action) nuclear-capable countries it is the job of the united states to be polic-force of the world. nobody else has the tools to keep the peace. look at somalia before black hawk down. we sent in 20,000 us marines and order was restored. we left the pakistani army in charge and left the country. all hell broke loose and we had to send the rangers and delta force in to clean up the mess.  if the united states is not willing to stand up for other countries and be keepers of the peace, no one else will. britain and canada don't have the military strength, russia doesn't have the money, france doesn't have the will power, and china doesn't really care. who else has the tools, manpower, and money to tackle the job of world's policeman?
