Things right now are going to shit in Syria, Turkey and many other places. So, why isn't the United States intervening? Basically, it's because the Syrians and the Turkish are hurting their own people, and not any other nation's people. That's the thing! When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, the US was right in there before you could say "Play your Kurds right". World War 2 as well. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour, and the US bolted right into the thick of it, and consequently saved the world.....yes, well done America.

The exact minute that the Syrian or Turkish government goons start attacking their neighbouring countries, the US will drop everything and come to the rescue, like they do in all those Western films.
It's the same thing between America and China. China has a disgraceful human rights history, but the US has been pretty much silent on the problems in China. But, the minute that China launches military installations on the Moon, the US will be up there in a matter of months.
So, the US is more than willing to help out the world, but only under certain circumstances;
1. If a country invades another country, 'Murica will be there!
2. If a country threatens the US's interests....*cough* oil reserves *cough*
3. If a country spreads its silly ideology into another country. By this logic, America should invade itself for spreading mass consumerism and reality T.V.!
4. There could be more reasons for the US invading another country, but I can't think of any without having my "US Foreign Policy for Dummies" book with me. I let George W. Bush borrow it, and he hasn't returned it.
