We gotta stop being the world's nanny.

Let me start off by saying I'm lucky to be living in the USA. It's not perfect but compared to what else I've seen, it's a very good place to be. The USA wants to be in charge of the world just like the next guy, we just go about it differently. I don't think it's a matter of "nannying" as much as it's a matter of opportunity.
