I understand that at this time there are many issues that face our country,
there are many pressing issues that require immediate solutions in order to
maintain peace between nations. At this moment I believe that an issue that you

America requires a stable policy that states what kinds of conflicts will
require us to take action and help other countries with their issues. At this moment,
America has troops deployed trying to solve other countries problems for them
while others begin to find crisis of their own. America cannot physically stop all
conflict in the world with our limited resources and scattered army. According to
TIME, last year the United States had over forty-five thousand troops deployed in
Japan, thirty-seven thousand in Germany, twenty-seven thousand in South Korea
and almost ten thousand in Afghanistan. This year numbers are even higher with
If the United States continues to deploy troops as they currently are, what
are we to do if some countries decide to start a conflict with us? With troops
scattered around the world, we could see the fall of a civilization similar to what
happened with the Roman Empire. Our armies spread too thin across land leaving
opposing side. America should be able to pick and choose which conflicts it
chooses to be involved with, however this may not always be an option. If America
decides to step into conflicts between countries, while we may be helping one side,
the opposing side will see America as an enemy, and we will be making just as
many allies as we will enemies. Our other option in this case is to become the
world's policemen and solve every issue that occurs throughout the world; however
America needs a certain list of criteria that must be met in order for us to

diplomatic view instead of military action. Concerning the conflicts in the Middle
East, America should have involvement including military action to stop Middle
Eastern terrorist organizations. America, however, should have help from much
more UN and NATO countries. America supplies lots of money to Saudi Arabia
which they use to purchase weapons to fight their wars. Many of these weapons
end up in the hands of the enemy. If America wishes to have involvement in this
This topic is controversial for many reasons, and a solution is very hard to
come by as all situations that are encountered by America are different with
complex solutions. Sometimes our country believes that they have the solution to
another country's problem but that country may disagree with the policies America
how to handle controversy and conflict. America needs stable policies to avoid
conflict with other countries based on these ideas. That is what makes this issue so
pressing, it is unbelievable controversial and requires attention immediately before
more tension is built. Every day that America dives deeper into other countries
battles, we dig ourselves into a hole in which we may not eventually be able to get
out. Someday soon we will find ourselves in controversy where we may have no

crumble under our own weight of conflicts, we must lighten the load by thinning

not create powerful enemies. Attempt to find issues where we can gain a powerful
