The US is the best nation in the world, we account for 1/3 of the world's GDP, have the fairest laws around, the best structured government, the most powerful military, and are the envy of the whole world. There are times when the US needs to step up on the world stage and say enough. The tyrants have been throwing sand in their little corners of the sand box for long enough and it is finally infringing upon our freedom. If the UN is not going to have the backbone to do what is right in the world than somebody should...and that role falls to the US and other nations that know right from wrong.
The US has the highest crime rate, we've got a huge unemployment rate with a huge amount of our citizens at or below the poverty line, we have corporate criminals getting away with god knows what, your fair laws are tattered with loopholes, and the military is the most powerful because of republicans that love war mongering. Talk about tyrants throwing sand? I can think of a few tyrants imposing harsh sanctions on Iraq from which hundreds of thousands of children die. But instead of offering solutions, we get someone with "backbone" to flex Americas muscles and only stir up more hate and resentment for us. That doesn't seem like right from wrong to me.
