Policemen of the World

             The United States are primarily the policemen of the world. If there is a conflict
            
             in the world that we feel remotely attracted to, we will deploy troops to that area. Due to
            
             this fact, we would not have to send our army to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia for their two
            
             conflicts, Operation Desert Storm and Operation Desert Shield. It is a false rumor that
            
             the United States were involved in these two conflicts for oil purposes only. This
            
             statement can be backed up due to our past connections with foreign wars, our attack on
            
             Iraq in Desert Storm, and the inevitable loss of American life.
            
             The United States has been in numerous foreign wars in the past, such as the
            
             nearly recent U.S. involvement in Haiti. Seeing as though the United States has the
            
             largest army in the world, we can literally conquer anything that we set our minds to
            
             invading. Instead, we use our military to help out foreign countries. No one would dare
            
             attack us; they'd rather get their joy in destroying smaller, weaker countries. Iraq
            
             attacked Kuwait, so we had to intervene. It is a habit for us; more people live if we send
            
             in our vast army. If we really needed oil all that badly, we would move in our
            
             Goliath-like army and take over Saudi Arabia or Kuwait. If any countries around
            
             retaliated, they'd surely be decimated. After the war in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, we
            
             kept only the necessary defensive platoons behind. We need not do anything else there,
            
             only protect.
            
             Operation Desert Storm was the liberation of Kuwait from Iraq control, and the
            
             following attack against their troops. Apparently, the United States had a grudge against
            
             Iraq all along; otherwise, they would have moved their troops out and back to America.
             Kuwait was in no position to share their oil. We helped them through their struggle, and
            
             proceeded to shell and bomb Iraqi strategic defense positions. We need...
