Actually, the current president was a very strong opponent to getting involved in other countries affairs. If you look at his campaign for the 2000 election you will not that he stated on several occasions that the US military should not be the "police of the world." However, after 9/11, that became a very different story, with the US suddenly more committed to global policing.
As for “if we wanted to conquer the world we would just take it”, again, our current President stated that our nation would be the strongest nation in the world, and any nation trying to build up weapons, or disagreeing with American policy would be dealt with.
Whining is defined as “to complain or protest in a childish fashion”. I do not think that I am complaining or protesting. I am creating a dialogue. I want to create a discussion on this matter, frankly, because it affects me as an American and as and expatriate.
I will poke around and find morte's article thank you for pointing it out.
