Should America serve a police/humanitarian role in the world?
Our policy of getting involved is rarely consistent, and our support of dictator regimes in the past is an other obvious inconsistency.
Some also argue, the more we fester and meddle, the more problems we heap back on ourselves. Others would say our non-intervention in the past could have prevented World Wars.
Many Republicans seem very big on intervention (surprisingly). Some Dems are too. Others are more cautious, either looking to addressing these situations as an international community or remaining more noninterventionist in general.
There's always a reason to get involved. When should we? When shouldn't we? How much should we? Should we really be trying to remove Gadafi? Is he a threat to the United States? Is military intervention without a threat to our own people, borders and land even Constitutional?
With the Middle East and Africa becoming increasingly unsettled, what should our role be?
