We are a nation of many different cultures and our people have come from all the far corners of the world seeking freedom and living a life as best they can, without war and condemnation. This was the ideal of the Statue of Liberty and many of our ancestors worked hard and long hours to provide a home for their family and food on the table.

While we are a nation of many nationalities, we are not the world's Creator or the police service for every culture that is out there. If aid is needed or assistance for humanitarian reasons, then yes, since we are all human beings, we have a need to help others - but not to place military all over the world, to interfere and cause governments to be overthrown and create conditions for riots and upheavals.
We are the youngest nation around and therefore we do not have all the answers to heal all the earth's wounds. In addition, we do not have the God-given right to impose our ideals, ways, and belief systems on everyone else. We can help but not alter. We can assist but not redo. Many of the oldest cultures in the world have been living for centuries when we weren't around and they did not fold up and walk away. Some cultures died out - but these were usually the ones that tried to take over and rule over all others.
Our mandate in this sphere we live in is to help and give our friendship - not decide what is right or wrong for everyone else. Each country has their needs, their ways, and they do have their pride of ancestry. Who are we, truly, to decide all the issues facing every nation, putting our soldiers and staff in hundreds of other countries, deciding who should or should not win elections, and if not going our way, to incite and overthrow? No one informed the world that God died and the universe is not looking for a replacement.
We should honor the ways of others, but be there if they need food, medical equipment, or some country has decided that their neighbor should be annihilated and the people (the common every day man or woman) would be in pain. We do not own or should we covet all the resources of the world. We do not have the expertise, even though our government truly believes they do, to change entire cultures into our image. They are not "us" and we need to have the respect to give them the right to live as they choose, without our interference and without giving money and indoctrination to the side we believe is right. The people of each of the countries we interfere with are not being given the chance to run their own lives, their land, or choose what they desire. Most assuredly, our country should never overstep its bounds and deprive the citizens of the world from their choices and their decisions.
