We have to fight for world peace!?.....

What does this mean? No doubt it is correct, but certainly not in the context that it was written.

The world has been fighting for peace for centuries. It was only achieved (on a large scale) when the weapons of the potential combatants became unthinkable to use.

Thank God for the United States...its foreign policy, however flawed at times, has at least been able to maintain a semblance of international peace. This is actually an amazing achievement, given the fact that in political terms the United States CANNOT win.

Take the following example:

A small country, which is ruled by a dictatorial government, begins to draw international attention because of human rights abuse and debilitating poverty. The United States faces the following options: 1) Do Nothing - Unacceptable, because the rest of the world EXPECTS the United States to do something...otherwise it is a country which does not care about its humanitarian obligations! 2) Overthrow The Dictator - Unacceptable, because this is cleary seen as aggression...even if the United States does manage to restore order and provide medical / economic aid! 3) Communicate With The Dictator For Terms - Unacceptable, because this is seen as cooperating with the ruling government (most likely for profit!)...even if it might result in reduction of human rights abuses and a gradual improvement in living conditions!

Regardless of what the United States does in this situation it will not come close to satisfying the ideaology of the international or domestic media, the U.N. or others who view it with envy and/or fear.

Peace will come in time...it is inevitable. Until then we can only hope that countries such as the United States and others can persevere.
