WORLDbytes volunteers filmed this enthralling debate at the latest Battle of Ideas Festival. As panellists at the debate argue the case for and against, speaker Brendan ONeill reminds us that while America may be the most powerful nation militarily, its role as the world policeman has diminished significantly in the post-Cold war era and its loss of mission is a defining feature.

  • world gangster or police?

  • in a way it is, they control everthing whether [people like it or not

  • I agree with questionitall77 on Americas loss of mission, the war on terror expresses this loss, filling the void so to speak. Anyway the policemen of the West are now more like politically correct psychotherapists, and so is America in its foreign policy. I think Blair's ethical foreign policy has a lot to answer for too.

  • Krugg misses the point and seems keen to demonise China, the USA has hardly done a grand job of ruling over the world and I think the Chinese people are capable of dealing with their own regime. having watched all parts to this programme, the key point in the report would seem to be America's loss of mission, rather well put I think.

  • NO ! China is about to take the mantle. Then all of these liberals will fell what real oppression is like.
