Should we the U.S. let other nations fight their own battles instead of getting involved in every single conflict in the world?

Don't matter.  Some freedom banging twat will intervene if there there is money to be made.

We don't get involved in every conflict, only ones that are distinctly beneficial to certain groups.  We've had an aversion to Africa for about 15 years now.

For the most part, I think we should stay out of the world's conflicts.  On the other hand, we should also leave the useless U.N.

Yes please, that would help.

One of the main reasons the UN is worthless is because the Security Council makes it so.  If nations (including the U.S.) would commit to the UN instead of using it only when it sees fit, it would work far better.

The stability of the world relies on countries like the US, so no we shouldnt let them fight their own battles.

The current power setup (US pretty much as the sole superpower) is worse for global politics in my opinion than something like during the Cold War where there was a bipolar power arrangement.

In certain ways, I agree, but I especially don't like the power that China and Russia have in it.  I don't think our decisions should have any direct influence from those 2 countries.  It's bad enough that we depend on China's trade so much, and Russia might not be the Soviet Union anymore, but they still can't be trusted.

I'd prefer we create a new group that is focused primarily on Western interests and Western nations.

Agreed. The cold war era, though tense at times, was a lot more balanced than the current scenario.

sounds like you like McCain and his League of Democracies idea.  Very unlibertarian of you.

There are certain things I like about McCain.  If it weren't for his hawkish nature, his pro-life stance, and his opposition to socialized healthcare, I'd consider voting for him.

Affirmative on the question. Blue helmets should be there to help preserve peace and fight if necessary.
