#3 Kiera Murphy on 05 Dec 11I agree that it is hard topic that can go in circles. The U.S. has the tendency to get involved in order to keep positive relations with their allies. Which makes sense. However, I do not believe that we need to step into other countries problems every chance we get. the U.S. needs to use discretion, especially in such fiscally trying times. There's a reason for the United Nations and it's a good way to have input without directly getting involved and other countries besides the U.S. We can't be the end all be all when it comes to helping out just because we may be the most powerful. I'm not saying that we shouldn't step in at all, we just shouldn't do it alone in order to look out for our best interests in the long run.
