Planetary Peace Patrols?

What are they?
Space cowboys? (I'll bet they're from Texas and carry big guns)
>"as soon as the most advanced, civilized and intelligent nation on Earth starts to defend it's interests - war suddenly becomes a great evil."
What interests? Oh, our OIL interests....I forgot.
Your bit about the most "advanced, civilized and intelligent nation is just a figment of your imagination. Other countries out there rival ours, however, their military might not. You already have the notion that we ARE the best, therefore we RULE.
It's hard to even know where to start with you. Picking your post apart, paragraph by paragraph would be repetitive and boring, because I disagree with your viewpoint to begin with. And using your "unintelligent" and "uneducated" lines make me want to just bypass your post altogether. Seeing as you see yourself as intelligent and educated, would you please just get off your pedestal and treat everyone equally for a change? We know there are inequalities in this world and we are conscious of finding common ground with them, not imposing our vision of WHO or WHAT we want them to "be". (They already "are".)
I would agree that parts of the world ARE living in the dark ages as mostly savages or simple people and it is NOT our job to fix this or bring "democracy" to it either. (Especially if all we want is their natural resources and we bomb them to get it, and then give the reconstruction contracts to our friends.) You call this intelligent moral progress.
>"Our nation behaves honorably all the time. Our nation is the role model for other nations governments and moral values".
Man, what planet are you from??
It's statements like these that make me realize that arguing with you is hopeless. You live in some pie-in-the-sky world of your own, but it's just not reality. I'm sending you a thirty day supply of reality pills for Christmas. I'll have Tech-7 deliver them.
