To Serve and Protect .Everywhere

When we see the police in our neighbourhoods , we are secured in the knowledge that we are in safe hands . The police evoke a sense of being safe when they are around knowing that they have the capacity to enforce the law and keep criminal elements at bay . We can take our children to the park and watch them play , secure in the presence of neighbourhood beat police patrolling the streets . It

is a safe place with the police around . But are they always welcome

Ever since the fall of the other world superpower , the Soviet Union the United States has been the sole keeper of that title (Weiner Historians predicted that soon , democracy and freedom will be the norm around the world (Weiner . But some say that the United States has been remiss in its duties as the global law enforcer (Weiner . Thus , the question is posed , should the world expect the United States to start policing the global neighborhood (Weiner

The question better posed would be is , can the United States be capable of being the policeman (Utley ?

This elite mainly consisted of those who owned tracts of land and a fraction of the population (Utley . In Rome , the Roman Senate dictated foreign policy in the state (Utley

But in the case of the United States , the practice is quite the opposite . The Constitution is very clear in the tenet of preservation of freedom , not curtailing it (Utley . This fundamental framework of the prservation of freedom is enshrined in the Bill of Rights of the Constitution (Utley . In the American scheme of things , the strength of the political structure is not in concentration , but in dispersal of that power (Utley . This is done to curtail any initiative in undertaking foreign military adventurism (Utley

The history of the United States foreign policy manoeuvrings has also been riddled with being inclined to serve the interests of certain sectors...
