As Teddy Roosevelt once said "We are the Police Officers of the world." This great president also said "Speak softly and carry a big stick". That is very true.

America is neither a bully nor a savior. It has doctrinal inconsistencies that have caused it great international harm, as well as an executive that blindly follows this doctrine due to his black/white good/evil worldview. Neither political party within the government is fit to govern, nor are any of the prominent independents, *cough* Nader! *cough* so the American people are stuck with an unsatisfactory system that restrains them and their will at the altar of the almighty dollar.

I vote colonel_bob as 'Troll of the forum' :p!

The answer to this really depends on what you think of American foreign-policy in the first place. And if you have an opinion on such things, you've already answered this question for yourself a long time ago.

Oh, and as an afterthought, a clever poll :naughty:... there's no real 'right' answer, just a 'wrong' one :p.

Yea, I don't think you can classify us as either. It's not a black and white issue...or a yes or no issue. :p
