The United States is too involved in Middle Eastern affairs

1) The United States is not a democracy, it is a constitutional republic where the people elect representatives to represent their interests in the government. 2) "Every individual has the same rights as the next person WITHIN a democracy therefore creating a system....."That is true, but as you have shown this only applies to people within the government we live in, and only this government. 3) The Constitution and Declaration does grant all men self evident right but no where does it say that it is the right and duty of Americans and the government to occupy foreign countries to give others these rights.4) "Being that these rights are universal to all humans it is the responsibility of a Democratic nation to protect these rights even if they are being infringed in another sovereign."No where in the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, or any other code of American laws does it grant the United States these powers to infringe on a foreign nation to implement such rights. 5) " If a Democracy fails to protect these rights or ignores the fact that these rights are being infringed upon, then it erodes away the core values that make the government what it is"So then the US has very poor core values. After all we granted all men these rights but for years and years after these glorious words were entombed forever America was rather contradictory. People owned slaves, women could not vote, there were laws limiting immigration into the country, Native Americans were removed from their own lands, even today the US occupies territories such as Guam that are US territory but they do not enjoy the same rights that normal Americans do. 6) "These rights must also be protected even against the will of the people whose rights are being infringed"If people do not want the same rights as Americans then why does America have to intervene if the people dont want it, if no code of laws grants the US to do this, and if no other democratic nations assist either? The US is not the sole Democracy in the world but we play a far, far, far greater role in meddling within the Middle East while other democratic nations do not intervene. Is every other democracy in the world wrong or hypocritical? 7) "but must be viewed as the protection of the fundamental principles it has sworn to uphold"These principles though only apply to the United States, not to sovereign nations. When the Supreme Court decided Brown v Board of Education for example that struck down segregated schools in the US, but not the whole world because US laws are only applicable to the US, not the rest of the world. 8) "To protect the life and liberty of all humans not just those who happen to fall within arbitrary lines in the sand"If this were even remotely true then why is it that the US has only been focusing on primarily the Middle East? There are many many many many many nations in the world that are far more oppressive to Human Rights than the middle East yet we do not pay much attention to them. Belarus, Myanmar, China, Somalia, Venezuela, and numerous countries in Africa have a much longer list of oppressing human rights than Iraq but the US pays far less attention to them or tries to enforce these goals on these people. The US is not designated by any code of laws to be the absolute enforcer of everything Democratic. US rights apply only to the US and the people within it and it is not the responsibility, the right, or the goal of the US to instill their ideas of government on foreign nations, that is called Imperialism. If the day ever comes where the US is supposed to enforce democracy on all parts of the world, then the fact that the US is focused primarily on the Middle East rather than other parts of the world would still mean that we are too involved in Middle Eastern affairs.
