[QUOTE="Commercialfarmer, post: 1365636, member: 14544"] WW2 was within the past 100 years, and we were attacked and it wasn't about oil. So the 100 year statement is obviously false, and Monroe doctrine would not have kept us out of it. Because of WW2, we had interest in preserving the stability of the world. GB I believe is correct, in that we had infrastructure, but only half correct. You can't build wealth trading with the someone that has nothing to trade back. The exchange is very limited. Our geatest years of economic growth weren't because we had capability and no one esle did. Trade is and always has been a two way street. And most importantly, the growth we experienced was because the world was at peace. You can have all the capability in the world, but like the dark ages, if the world is in conflict and trade hindered, you have no economic boom. It wouldn't have existed. This period of overall peace maintained by the US presence, it's military capability- the nuclear bomb, until the recent past is what has given the world stability and contributed to the overall greatest boom in world wealth. The meddling has been good and bad, and not at all equal. There has been necessary and productive action based on the goal of preservation of world peace and freedom of man, and there has been administrations that have caused conflicts and world interference that were not for the betterment of man. I.e. Lybia. But if some of you would prefer to be speaking Japanese or German or living under fascism, you can always move. 100 years and everything is about oil my a$$. Edit to add: Some real men gave there lives to make the world a better place, a safer place and a more prosperous place. I'll be damned if I don't call it like it is to someone that has spent his life living off the government tit with the biggest threat being he might twist his ankle getting out of the car to write a ticket to throttle the productivity of people working for a living.
