i remember last year in american studies that the reason that the US seems like the police of the world is that they want to make sure that communism or other types of tyrannic, destructive government dont come into power. in the case with saddam, he was obviously more of a dictator. the US stepped in and took care of him before he could do any more damage. i havent been keeping up with the news in iraq either but it just seems like we're not getting any progess. our involvement in the war in iraq is for a greater purpose than the general public thinks. by having our troops over there, we're helping rebuild a democratic government and try to better the living conditions of the citizens over there. also, we have troops over there trying to fight the terrorist groups. all the US government is trying to do is getting rid of any threat to world peace.
