I don't know about policing the world, but I think we should take steps to help stop genocide when we know it is happening (e.g., Nazi Germany, Rwanda).

I think as the dominate superpower, we should and do step in situations where individuals lives, and freedoms are at stake. Stepping in being synonymous with the United States largest humanitarian efforts in the world, food, supplies, equipment, etc.

Neoconservatism emphasizes foreign policy as the paramount responsibility of government, maintaining that America's role as the world's sole superpower is indispensable to establishing and maintaining global order.[2]

Some would call that policing.

it is, but what he said is probably closer to what I would like us to be doing.  We all know that's not quite the whole story, by a long shot.

I'd much rather let China and Russia continue to arm people like the Janjaweed in Sudan. Why waste money saving ungrateful people? Let the rest of the West pull some of the load for once.
