Do you believe that u.s should not iunterfere at all with the world or still interefere. Details are helpful thanks

Interfere or help. Fine line in your book. Being the BOMC, we have a responsibility to try and help (or interfere as you call it)
We can help so the media portrays us as a villain at every opportunity. Media bias only reports the bad. Bad sells, good is boring. So when we do a million good things and one thing can be perceived as bad that is all you will hear about.

We should take a more neutral stance. We can help countries but not be a police state. I want the U.S. to still be involved because it's part of the world of today. But butting into other countries, no. The war on terror is a two-edged sword for me: I totally support the war in Afghanistan but not the one in Iraq. However, I'll always support our troops. Thanks!

If it effects our security, yes. The only reason we should go over and spill blood for allies who can't defend themselves (that probably wouldnt' do the same for us) is because if they are overtaken, it will be problems for us in the long run.

For example, if we hadn't interfered in the Middle East, Iraq fighting Iran, Iraq taking over Kuwait, you would have a huge Iran that would have swallowed up both of those two countries, if not more, in addition to holding Lebanon and Syria captive to do their bidding.

Getting involved may seem unrelated to our security, but it is directly related to our security and that is the purpose of the United States government. And as long as we're a thriving free country, our government will always do that. Idiots who say we're 'policing' the world or fanatics who say "Go home, Yank, get out of the Middle East" don't understand this. We're not just there because we can and we want to.

That is why Blair kept warning the world filled with hatred for the USA that the last thing they want is the US to go into isolation. The UK can protect itself from, say, France, yes. But when the Nazis continued to take over countries and became more and more powerful while all of Europe, the Commonwealths, as well as the USA, ignored them because it wasn't their problem, we ended with a HUGE enemy on our hands, and had lost allies to their side. No one country could defeat them.

Those sad little haters who say 'Yank, go home' have no idea the protection that the USA gives them everyday.
