Yup.

And there is the other side to the coin.

Because we do police the world, we are now expected by many to do so when something goes wrong somewhere. Of course we only help when there is benefit or the powers that be can get filthy rich from it.

While I'm not a fan of the USA policing the world, I think we should help, because we can, anytime genocide is involved. We should have been in Sudan ASAP to stop the killings there, but we are letting it happen the same we did when it happened in Rwanda in 1994. In fact, we sit on out asses just about anytime there is a real problem and only throw our dick around for strategic or financial gains. Not that I can fault them for that, but don't act like world police when you only are willing to protect when you can gain from it.
