World Police Debate: Q & A, part 2 (9 of 14)

The motion: "America should be the world's policeman"

Moderator: Morley Safer
Speaking for the motion: Max Boot, Michael Mandelbaum and Douglas Murray
Speaking against the motion: Ian Bremmer, Ellen Laipson and Matthew Parris

IQ2US marks the launch of Oxford-style debating -- one motion, one moderator, three advocates for the motion, three against -- in New York City. Each evening begins at 6:00P with a complimentary cocktail period. As you enter the theater before the debate starts at 6:45P, you cast your vote for or against the evening's motion. Those results are displayed midway through the debate as each side makes its statements. After all six panelists speak, the audience has a chance to ask the speakers questions and vote again. The debate finishes with brief summations from the panelists, the votes are tallied and a winning side is declared.

@countertreason chomsky would have given good historical insight that is backed up by volumes of evidence, yes he may be quite one sided, but at the same time his arguments would have leveled the debate in my opinion.

@fullywoolly Driving around in his Mercedes paid for by ignorant and emotional kids who want to hate the stern but overall decent nation in this world and blame her for the world's problems instead of the clearly wretched and evil nations that cant even treat their own citizen's well.

That huckster talks nonsense and is of no interest to anyone. He has already sold enough books, he has no need for you anymore.
