...if we could quit playing world police and focus on getting our shit together at home for a while?

How are we supposed to set an example and get any kind of respect from other countries if we can't even take care of our own problems? We are like a bully from a broken home, or the shrink who tries to fix others and can't even sort out their own life. I really think our country has regressed to a pitiful low while trying to stay in the spotlight and look pretty. If we aren't already, we will soon be the laughing stock of the world. I can hear it now..."at least we aren't as fucked up as the United States".
