- dalke 10y agoI now have Ochs' "Cops of the World" running through my head: 'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys We're the Cops of the World Our boots are needing a shine, boys Boots are needing a shine But our Coca-cola is fine, boys Coca-cola is fine We've got to protect all our citizens fair So we'll send a battalion for everyone there And maybe we'll leave in a couple of years 'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys We're the Cops of the World Dump the reds in a pile, boys Dump the reds in a pile You'd better wipe of that smile, boys Better wipe off that smile We'll spit through the streets of the cities we wreck We'll find you a leader that you can't elect Those treaties we signed were a pain in the neck 'Cause we're the Cops of the World, boys We're the Cops of the World
- chrisbennet 10y agoMuch of the worlds problems were created by US involvement. We (the US) created the conditions that created ISIS for example (by invading Iraq). We along with the British, overthrew the democratically elected government of Iran in 1953 leading to the Iran we have today. Perhaps we should rethink this "world policeman" role.
