"I think it's just hard to be the world's policeman..." What some people call being the "world's policeman," I call being a bully. The USA only occupies such a role by having the most weapons and the most money. The USA its military and economic might to further strengthen its power, not to mete out justice. And when I say "USA," I don't just mean the government, but also the biggest corporations. Sometimes it's in the best of the USA, Coca-Cola, Facebook, and Raytheon that people live, and sometimes its in their interest that people die. Some people get to live very comfortable lives, and some people must live in squalor. Those countries that buy fighter jets and McDonald's tend to earn the USA's favor, and those that do not are forces into compliance or brutally punished. Cuba wanted to nationalize its oil industry in the 60s, and the Cuban trade embargo began (and has lasted ever since). The USA will describe it as fighting authoritarian dictators or whatever, but its all about whether a nation will agree to play by the USA's rules of capitalism or not. Proponents of the USA and capitalism like to tout it as the most morally superior system in the world so far devised, but it is no coincidence that the richest country in the world also has the largest military in the world. The USA maintains its position by violence.
