By that do you mean the US world-police? I think if you look a little
closer, you'll find that the US does *not* want to be the world-
police. Most of us would be happy if other countries dealt with their
own outlaw neighbors.

I get real tired of hearing "why doesn't the US do something about
that" on one hand, and "curse the US for doing that" on the other, and
I don't think I'm alone.

There is still an isolationist movement here that wants the US to stop
all foreign aid. Period. Others are proud of the role we play in this
world. Have we made some mistakes? Sure. But count the countries with
US soldiers buried in their soil, and remember why they are there.

Credibility? Look at the crime statistics of some of the countries
with the most restrictive gun control laws. Go ahead, I'll wait.
