Foreign Policy
“The land of the free and the home of the brave” That’s America’s motto, so it’s no surprise that America has a history of jumping into foreign affairs. A recent poll has found that Americans think the U.S. is no longer superpower player and wants leaders to ease off interfering with other countries problems. About 53% of Americans say that America is less respected in the world view. Paul Lewis, “Most Americans think US should 'mind its own business' abroad, survey finds,” December 3, 2013.

America has always valued freedom and democracy, that is the basis on which we were founded, but a blogger says that since the 9/11 terrorist attacks America has been inclined to get involved or impose upon things that don’t concern them. American leaders thought it a good idea to rid Afghanistan of of the Taliban, which probably was a good idea but ultimately caused more harm than good. America has lost thousands of soldiers in a twelve-year war that has brought about nothing but wasted resources and death. Meishayuri, “Why can’t America mind it’s own business?”, September 14, 2013.

We also have a tendency jump into situations that we know little of says Kaylar from Bubblews.com.
Kaylar thinks that America has has this sense of justice that it must get rid of every bad guy in another country, even if they don’t know how it will affect that country. She throws out examples in order to reiterate her point, America took down Saddam Hussein and Iraq has not gotten better, America aided in taking down Gaddafi and some would argue that Libya is worse, America helped get Duvalier into power in Haiti and that resulted in thousands of deaths.

As you can see some people believe that America should really sit down and mind their own business. On the contrary some feel that America is doing the right thing. An anonymous commentator claimed that it’s America’s duty as a superpower to get involved with the world’s problems. The commentator says that America cannot “mind their own business” because it’s our business as well and who are we to not handle our business? Another commenter stated that it was our job as humans. They claimed that it’s the right thing to lend our resources and aid the world in any way we can. Obviously opinions are varied on this topic people don’t seem to be agreeing anytime soon. “Should America help other countries?”
