Is America's mission to rule the world and be the number one/strongest nation in the world?
The answer to this question will of course be contested by Americans. No American citizen, regardless of occupation or ethnic background will agree to the statement of "Americans want to rule to world". But lets look at the actions of the US instead of the opinions of its citizens (I'm guessing most of the answers here are from American citizens).1. The US has been increasing its military outposts. It has about 450+ bases around the world. Do not give me the "but it is to protect our allies". Wrong, just look at Japan, how many protests have there been AGAINST US bases. How many women have been raped by marines. In addition to increasing its military, it highly criticizes other nations when they do so despite their sovereign right.2. The US is currently lobbying to "feed the world" with Monsanto, despite literally 100.000s of people protesting against it. But I guess the exceptionalist murica knows best what is good for the world right? So now they want to control the world's food system.3. The CIA has destabilized at least a dozen nations who did not want to work with the US and just wanted to be left alone. All under the banner of "we are the free and just nation leader of the world". Or the other wonderful argument of "protecting our interests abroad". What possible reason would you have for destabilizing Iran in the 70's. A country literally on the other side of the world.4. The US criticizes EVERY government on the planet that does not want to work with them. It even violates international law, a term comically used a lot by the US despite it not even being a member of the ICC. And also has a law that allows to invade one of its closes allies (The Netherlands invasion act).5. It wages illegal wars, yes illegal. Iraq, Lebanon, Afghanistan. Iraq had no wmd's, posed barely a threat after the first gulf war and the US still decided to attack it. WHY!6. And now with ISIS/IS or whatever their name is. The US is arming rebels groups in Syria who have ties to ISIS while good ol’ Uncle Sam is bombing the ONLY competent force fighting ISIS, Assad.7. Not even going to start about its support for barbaric nations such as Israel and Saudi Arabia.So yes, the US does want to rule the world. Or at least be its influencer and decide which course the world MUST take. The US population wants peace, but the government they elect wants dominance

Why was Qaddafi killed?
We just learned about him in Economics class and it's so sad that he was killed. He was trying to bring Africa together and trying to improve the entire continent, and almost succeeded but why did the US kill him? He wasn't a terrorist. He wasn't cruel. Sure he might have had to make drastic decisions, but if we're willing to put the manpower to kill Quaddafi, why don't we kill the real oppressors, like the president of Syria, and North Korea? No, instead, we kill the good men. This just makes me hate my country
