Too idealistic. It is a nice idea that we all wish would work... however, if a country's government is corrupt and selfish as to kill millions of their own people, they will certainly not make peace treaties with other countries. We can at least agree that a minimum of 1 coutry (of course there would be more) would not buy into that kind of treaty. It only takes one. The problem with being the "global police" is that American citizens want to save everyone. In itself that is fine, but it is also impossible. There about 7 billion people on the planet and at least half have major problems. So we all prioritize in our own minds who needs help the most. We come up with different types of aid and different recipients and as a country, we will less that likely ever agree. It is easy to talk about solutions. It is much harder to follow through. Personally, extra food is a great option... tough to organize. I think the best thing that can be done is medical aid. Trying to reformat a government gets dangerous...like in Iraq... it is tough to let it stand on its own. Education is a great option. I think medical aid is a better place to start. America spends about $6,000-$7,000 per death from aids (research). We spend about $67 per death from malaria. These two diseases account for about the same amount of deaths. We obviously like to give money to the diseases close to home. Nothing wrong with that. However, this topic is about global problems, so what do you think about the stat about money for research?
