Enter if you dare

I bet most of you have been living in the US for quite a long time. Thus, you may understand it better since you were at home.
I got o controversial topic that needs some contradicting points of view.
Hope you can help me have a bigger picture of this resolution in my E. class
The US has a moral obligation to mitigate international conflicts.
Are U for or against?
Just to get you more into this, I offer you definitions for some needed to know terms in the topic:
Moral obligation: an obligation arising from right and wrong
Mitigate: To make less severe.
International conflict: War, disputes between 2 or more nations. including the US.
Remmeber, US- a nation -is an actor and the kind of conflicts is international.
You can look at it either from US perspective or international one.
Dare to take a stand and tell me why.
I hope to gain many good ideas from all of you.
So come join and share your voice.
Thanks.
 
Re: Enter if you dare

Against:

Go to NYTimes.com, search for one of Bush's recent speeches abt American responsibility in spreading democracy to the rest of the world... (mitigating international conflicts belongs to this task)

U should answer some questions first like:

1.where did this idea stem from? (reagan i believe)
2. is this right morally for the US to claim for itself the role of the sole arbitrator of global events?
....
G'luck

sounds more like a history and/or a psci paper

to Dang: is that what you study in your English class?

o.k, I am against it.

Firstly, we need to understand why most of Americans take this statement for granted. They consider themselves civilised, their country the land of freedom and the rights of American people are somehow better than others'. Therefore, they have certain rights and also responsibility to set that so-called liberty in other countries by mitigating intel conflicts.
I'm gonna discuss the conception of natural rights. Do you think human beings have any natural rights? Personnally, I think the answer is no. Rights come from the perspective and judgement of ourselves. So the rights and responsibility I have just mentioned are nothing more than the assumptions of American themselves.

I have just taken a Political Philosophy class for winter term. No clue what's going on in class :(
