Is the U S shirking it’s duty to democracy ?

If the U S does not exercise Police action in the East, is it shirking it’s duty to Democracy?

Like it or not, the Western forces, through the U N’s use of U S military might, along with it’s allies, and the World Bank, Police the world.

A speedy resolve to many of the relatively small wars around the globe could be ours, if we all just told the U S to just do it’s Job and go do the will of the revolutionary forces and take over.

With environmental change moving along at a brisk pace, we as peoples must impose peace more quickly in order to divert resources to life instead of death.

Clearly the people of the East are hesitantly showing that they wish to share, in Western culture. There are points of irritation, so to speak, between East and West but a rapprochement, on the big picture, is obvious.

We know that there are two ways to conquer a nation. Physical warfare or economic warfare. China, as well as other powerful economies, are presently putting economic pressures on the U S economy and therefore inhibiting the U S efforts to protect the revolutionary forces with police action, as opposed to, military, forces.

Democracy would be well served if these countries would ease up just a bit and allow the earth to benefit.

Let me be quick to tell my American friends that in no way do I intend or desire to denigrate U S actions to date. I ask the question more for a future, more simplistic time.

The question then should really be, Is the U S shirking it’s duty to democracy, by not advocating an easing of pressure on the economic front, to facilitate an advance on the switch from military intervention, to a more police style intervention with military intervention, as required.

Hm well, through american history, whenever yuo heard a president speak it wa about democracy, being the best, and preservicn peace around the world. Now , werein capitalsim, and the major cause of world wars it seems. somethings is DEF very worng here.

America has no allegiance to Democracy. America is not a Democratic state. It is a Republic state. Huge difference. Democracy is mob rule.

It is unconstitutional for the U.S.to act as the world police.

It is not our job, nor our duty to act as the global installer of democracy.

Just review the bush elections, it ain't about democracy.

The U.S. is not a democracy.

We are a Constitutional republic.

But don't let fact get in the way of your emotion based argument or anything.

We have no business interfering. Sure, we can get all emotional and stirred up in the idea of giving freedom and liberty to the poor souls overseas, but what RIGHT or DUTY do we have to it, especially when we have not been asked by the people.

I am pagan and polyamorous. I live a very happy and rewarding life. Now should I start going door to door and imposing my beliefs on all those poor miserable Christians? I think not.

Why do you think democracy is the best way, or even the way for other nations? I personally think democracy is a pain in the butt. I live in a democratic republic and I hate the way government works here. I hated it in the States too. I have little good to say about it because it is an inherently flawed system. That flaw is the same as for Communism. If people were good, fair, honest, forthright, considerate, thinking beings both systems would work just fine. In fact, probably all systems would work just fine. The fact that we kinda suck and blow at the same time makes for failure of any and all the major systems presently.

Nicely put

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except when compared to all others"

Winston Churchill

As far as the mess we are in, its our fault. We have failed to hold our government accountible.. Instead of demanding cuts in the budget, we have groups who are protesting so they dont lose benefeits / funding / grants / etc.

We get to overthrow our government every 2 years, and every time it comes up, we become apathetic, complain about the broken system, rubber stamp the people who shouldnt be in office, then go home.

My comment about fortune favoring the foolish was not directed at the US.

Yet every president has a war.

In Libya we have an excellent opportunity for a successful one yet we sit on our hands. Sigh.
