US politicians use wars and international intervention as a smokescreen to drive public attention away from undesirable topics.

In the 90's, when President Bill Clinton was embroiled in domestic controversy regarding his relations with staffers, he launched air strikes against Serbia, putting foreign affairs into the news. Recently, as Obama has become embroiled in controversy over the spying on US citizens (and other domestic policies), he talked about air strikes against Syria, putting foreign affairs into the news.

Why go through all the pain and expenses of a foreign war when you can get the desired effect without actually doing anything? Maybe Obama is a genius and was just playing us the whole time, he never really wanted to bomb anybody? He has tricked the world into thinking he had plans to enter into another foreign war, but the maneuver was just a feint to move the public eye off his administration and onto somewhere about as far away as possible!

Well, that's way more plausible then the "let's save the poor Libyan from being gassed", you know, because them should be killed with guns not gas!

They are not that smart you are giving them way to much credit.   

No one wants to help others, if it wasn't for the US. Europe would be part of the third reich

Sadly, now we are part of the vierte reich.

Eastern Europe overthrew the communists, you don't think Western Europe would have kicked out the Nazis by now?

Maybe. Then again, lots of profit to be made there.  ;)

Also through the policies of Gorbatsjov and Jeltsin. It is difficult to say.

US was neutral until Pearl Harbor, and don't forget the country who suffered most casualties was the Soviet Union.

And many other European Christian Dictatorships have fallen without US "help"...
