This paper focuses on the military action taken by the American police officers and its effects on its own people and the citizens of the countries affected. To begin with, the United States of America has encountered stiff resistance from its own citizens due to its decision to send her troops to oversee international military assignments. The former presidents due to the constitutional power has been bestowed upon them have castigated most of these attacks. Based on the consequences arising from the U.S military attack on Afghanistan and Iraq, my opinion concurs with the rest of the public’s perception of the events. This is because of the terrorist threats that the country and the citizens in general face. In addition, the budgetary cost allocated to the defense docket has risen drastically over the years. This has resulted in the diversion of national resources, which could be utilized in improving the living standards of the ordinary citizens. Despite being the world’s strongest superpower, the country should minimize its military actions on international territories. The use of military action should constitute the last resort for those countries faced with endless civil wars and humanitarian crisis.

Blum (2003) affirms that ssome international events that have taken over the past five whose origin could be traced back to the foreign policy that was created after the civil war. These include the invasion of independent countries such as Iran, the economic sanctions imposed on Zimbabwe and the total fight against terrorism on countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan.

There are various international events that the United States of America has taken a policing role since World War II. Among others, they include the military action of America on Vietnam between 1963 and 1971, the Iran Hostage Rescue I April 1980, and the invasion of countries such as Panama, Somalia, Granada, Bosnia and Haiti. Additionally, the military action of America on Iraq and Afghanistan ranks as one of the international events that the country has taken a policing role.

Hippel (2000) asserts that the following aspects have driven the rise of the US as the world’s superpower police officers. For instance, the large population of US fuelled its economic growth. This ensured that innovation and technological advancement was encouraged during its formative years. Another factor that contributed to the rise of US as the world’s superpower is because of the role that they played during World War II. Their emergency o the winning side enabled them to consolidate their resources and power. Thirdly, the influx of cheap and skilled labor into the country fuelled its rapid economic development. These enhanced their economic superiority over other nations resulting in the development of a strong military and a sophisticated navy force.

Zenko (2010) ascertains that a number of factors have fueled the policing roles that America has taken over the years on international territories. For instance, the military action ion Iraq and Afghanistan was driven by they believe that the leaders of these country were involved in abuse of human rights. For instance, the late former president Saddam Hussein is accused of mass killings of innocent civilians and perversion of humanitarian justice. Additionally, the decision of America to raid Tripoli was because of the claims that the leaders of the country were allegedly associated with training and support of terrorist activities.

An accepted conclusion is that the policing roles taken by America on international soil has faced stiff resistance both from the within and without. Some of the military actions have been justified because of the liberalization of the citizens from oppression and human injustice. However, these decisions have come at a heavy cost, which at times has burdened the country. In addition, a number of military actions have been uncalled for since they have not proved to be fruitful.
