Foreign Policy

I am about to discuss the United States foreign policy and my likes and dislike about it. Even though I dislike president bush I was a fan of his foreign policy. I hear my peers talking about how it’s not our right to police the world and that we should stay out of the business of other nations. I have absolutely no respect for the opinions of those who use this as an excuse for isolationism. There are good reasons to stay out of other nation’s affairs and I will explain them later, but first I am going to show why we have the right to do whatever we want on this world.

  After the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union the United States was the only remaining superpower in the world leaving us with the responsibility to govern the planet? It would be irresponsible of us to allow weak nations with no future to stand in the way of our interests. The consequences would be grave, we would eventually through appeasement become one of these week hopeless nations and if we care about our future we cannot allow our leaders to appease the world. The resources we need for survival are spread around the globe and we cannot afford to negotiate ownership of them. Obviously the American system of government is currently the most effective system ever conceived up to this point in history. It is foolish to engage in diplomacy over our interests when we rightfully have the power to take them. Unfortunately most Americans are not educated enough to see things this way.

  Our educational system is the tool that can be used to fix this. If more emphasis was placed on history, politics, and national superiority then a new generation of voters can lead our nation to further greatness and global dominance. I wish our president could give a speech about how we are deploying to the middle east to secure oil resources to further our nations might and get support for it. Unfortunately out government has to use propaganda and phrases like “war on terror” to justify endless war. I wish the day would come when people realize that war is necessary to survive. This nation was born in war expanded through war, and maintains survival through war. If people fail to realize this we are doomed to fail like every other nation in history. People in America have gotten complacent, people are so used to being in the greatest nation to ever exist that they begin to worry about the morality of our treatment of foreign countries. Our position as global superpower is not set in stone and can end at anytime.

  Our nation has been called the melting pot of the world and I like that. Our system of government should be spread all over the world bringing all of humanities cultures into our melting pot. I know I have spoken about a culture for all of humanity before and I think that our country is the place for it. After all today’s American culture is a combination of all the positive traits of last generations immigrants.

  Now imagine a world with no war. This is only possible if a nation with a stable system of governance absorbs the other nations. If you do not believe this is true try and think back to a time when individual states when to war. Obviously the civil war but that can never happen again in the nuclear age as long as the central government has the possession of nuclear weapons. World peace is possible but must be fought for, and there is no other nation more prepared than the United States of America!
