US-World Police is a mixed bag. They're a nice dog to have around when someone starts causing a ruckus. But they are far too eager for a fight, or to interfere, to the point that one can debate if the overall effect is positive or negative. They are a source of both stability, and instability.
Basically agreed with all of this. A little more measured and slightly different approaches would be a welcome change; but now we just drone our problems away. Or give a bunch of money to bad guys who crossed their fingers while signing the deal. Sneaky. :p

The inertia of the UN and other Western nations sometimes does a reasonable job of restraining them.
It's not enough, though.
