The analogy I use is that the world is behaving very badly, and their own parrents can't take care of or control their juvenile delinquents..... that's when police and child services are called. We have to be the police to the world now, since they can't behave on their own.
Isn't the "police of the world" generally a derogatory term? And isn't that why many developed nations (some who's populations enjoy similar if not greater civil, political and economic liberties and freedoms) dislike the actions of the recent American political system? Why should Western Europe be angry at us if we are promoting good? Why should the UN not allow and back our assault on Iraq?
