Absolutely. Just as everyone else. No doubts about that.

Eh? Who and when made America a World's Policeman(TM) ?
Look, I don't even ask you "why US?" - see, I'm a nice guy - I just want to know when, because some 70 years ago you were a xenophobic, isolationist country - where was US help when Hitler went to war in 1939? If you were so worried about spreading communism, then why did you left your best allies to be swallowed by hungry uncle Stalin?
You only help to "spread the Freedom(c)" when it's going to give you big profits. That's why I call all those idealistic terms (such as "War on Terrorism") a bullsh*t.
War is business - plain and simple. It always was.
