Why do some believe the US has the obligation to cure the world's problems?
To me, it shows a sense of ignorance of history and of the role of nations.
The US has the duty to be fair to itself and its citizens, nothing more, nothing less. Becoming a world cop is counterproductive to its interests. We are also not the world's economic healer. To the extent, we can benefit our citizens, then it makes sense to become involved. To the extent, we are not benefitted, then it makes no sense.
