Why does America play BIG BROTHER..?

Nope, America won't tackle North Korea because they're scared of China and Russia.  I think either or both of those two countries will get involved if the USA decided to attack North Korea.\n\nWhose not scared of China?  They're going to be the biggest economy in the world soon!  And they've alway had a huge army.\n\nThen if you did attack North Korea and did win, whose saying you won't make a mistake like you did with Iraq and Afganistan, putting a government in place which is just as bad or worse than the previous communist government.  People have very short memories!  You have to remember that the US put Sadam and the Taliban in power in Iraq and Afganistan.  The only reason you knew that Sadam had weapons of mass destruction is because you gave them to him to use against Iran.  Why can't you just let countries sort their own problems out?  Or if your going to police the world, why don't you help sort out some of the African countries that need your help?\n\nAnyway, America doesn't play big brother, they play little brother with all the hi-tech toys, wanting to be like one of their big brothers (i.e. France, Spain and Britain).\n\nAnd before anyone says, I'm not anti-america, I thought Bill Clinton was a superb president, but he was partly educated in England!

Americans are rude, lazy, selfish and arrogant.  Yes, we should keep out of other countries' disputes.  You wouldn't want someone whose life is screwed up telling you how to run yours, would you?  America is a mess.  We have no business telling others what to do.  We should stay home and clean house here.

because americans are afraid to be a part of the group... they want to look like the outsiders/dominators.... stupid if you ask me, especially when both our sothern and nothern neighboors trade and work with the metric system everyday!

So tired of this question... \n\nWhy is the rest of the world so insecure because Americans have a game that is more fun than soccer and decided to call it football.  I'm thinking of starting a petition to change the official name of the American sport from football to:\n"THE GREATEST GAME IN THE WORLD AND TONS BETTER THAN DUMB STUPID SOCCER BALL"  \nWe'll still call it football for short though and insist that persons from Europe must call it by it's formal name.  Anyone want to sign up?  \n\nIf you are really interested in how American football got it's name, see the link below.  Everything you ever wanted to know.

many americans are ignorant unwilling to accept cultures or learn anything about a culture other than their own.  So don't take notice of the greatest sport in the world.\n\nIt's their we have everything we need here already philosophy, which also means that most don't travel outside their own country, great shame given proximity to South America.

China will never assume the role of Big Brother. It is something that the US has push onto the international scene. That kind of attitude or approach is against traditional Confucianism. China will work with other major powers to influence other countries, it will never take the direct approach the US does.

YES! PLEASE let's move on!! Americans are mostlly fans of football, baseball and baksetball ( with hockey as the fourth sport ). Also, let's not bother and televise the boring World Cup proceedings on our television stations. The United States is unique in it's own way, and don't need other countries to shove their sports down our throats! If you want to follow the World Cup proceedings, please follow it on another nations' cable hook-up.

Most Americans don't watch the news. They prefer to watch American Idol and America's Next Top Model. The smart Americans are few and far between. I would like to think that I am one of them. ;)

Yes, because Americans have a short memory.  When something like that first happens, it's fresh in peoples minds so they feel compelled to do something about it.  But as times passes, people have their own problems to deal with so that leaves very little room for other problems.  Plus, people assume that the government is doing something about it and alot of people think they are only one person, how could they help.

That is an interesting point about America from its neighbour. It is a pity that Americans have not earned the good will of even one of his neighbours. They need to have a re look at their international relations and relations with their neighbours.

Because we, as Americans, are generally a bunch of self-centered jerks.  I should know.  I'm one of them.  We don't tend to think in global terms.  A popular saying here for anyone who doesn't want to get involved in something is "You can't see it from MY house."  What does that tell you?

That's a good question. I guess one reason would be that no American would really watch the foreign channels. People in other parts of the world can usually speak more than one language, most Americans can't, and don't want to. So we watch what we're used to; American shows. Censorship may also be an issue; they can't show certain things that might appear on a foreign program. Oh well.
