If the USA had put forces behind those factions they likely would have been able to create a level of stability in the country. The same goes for Kosovo and Bosnia, the USA was able to achieve an end to bloodshed and peace.
Because that's worked so well for us throughout the Middle East? You still haven't answered my question as to why this duty falls to us, we're geographically distant from all of those places and aren't obligated by any treaty or post-colonial duty. Is the rest of the world so millitarily inept that
only the US can act in this peacekeeping role?
Because the United States has the capacity to do so, the strongest military in the world. The wealthiest country, why can't it do something like that. If they do not hundreds of thousands of people die it is for the greater good.
(Hey, Mr. D.!

Have you checked our debt lately?
http://www.usdebtclock.org/We also no longer have a strong military. HOWEVER, Trump plans to change that.
https://www.google.com/amp/www.foxnews. ... s.amp.htmlFrom the article :
"President Trump has pledged to rebuild military units like the 101 and recently announced a $54 billion increase in defense spending. Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill, including from his own party, say Trump’s plans don’t go far enough to repair the damage."
The US needs to build up its own military just so we can protect ourselves - screw the rest. These other countries have people - they need to make their own armies. We might even be nice enough to sell them some of our guns then they need to go to work. We have more important things to do than protect other countries asses - we have a wall to build! (Maybe 2, depending on how Canada acts). If it was up to me, I'd build a freaking fortress.
