You think moral hypocrisy, over a million dead and chaos in Iraq and Afganistan hair-splitting?
We've heard all this 'you're either with us or against us' from Bush thanks.
England is with us...albeit you are hanging onto our coattails, you're still with us.
It's exactly because we're tired of our politicians making us the US's lapdog that we're not going anywhere with you until you have an actually plan of imperial occupation to back up your easy use of imperial might.
p.s.
You are insulting the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish with your post as its not England but Britain who would be involved.
President Barack Obama has his eyes set to a higher level.
We are now addressing injustices throughout the world, with the help of various national associations and the United Nations.
As an American, to the rest of our shared world-wide humanity, you are welcomed.[/size]
I think you live in the delusion of the american myths as you are not 'addressing injustices throughout the world', just where your vested interests think their national interest lies.
I think America, being the world power, is taking a new step in this modern world. We are gradually forming a universal moral code of what is to be considered right and wrong.

You live in a dream world as the UN has long had a universal declaration of human rights, i.e. what's right and wrong. It's that the world powers pick and choose which ones to apply to who and, in general, they do it to suit their own national interests. So for example, it's wrong to destroy a country for the act of a single group who were not even from that country or it's wrong to kidnap others and hand them over for others to torture in ones national interest or it's wrong to to tell others that they cannot have certain weapons when one holds them oneself or it's wrong to tell others to allow the UN to inspect anothers chemical weapons when one does not allow such and inspection upon oneself or it's wrong to tell others to obey UN resolutions whilst supporting others who don't, etc, etc.

You do know America killed Cap?

Call yourself an American? Captain America.
Everything else you articulated I agree with. I enjoy and support the United Nations. America continues to be a huge influence in the UN.
Then as usual you are confused and full of contradiction The UN is a toothless tiger and it's just because of the 'influence' i.e. the veto of the world powers that make it so.
Now this is a sore point as American football should never be allowed to churn up the hallowed turf but like most things in the UK it's in the hands of the bean-counters. Please don't think me jingoistic as Rugby shouldn't be allowed there either.
