World Police Debate: Max Boot (2 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.

LISTEN, UNDERSTAND, DECIDE. RON PAUL 2012

A vote for Dr. Paul is a vote for yourself. He wants to limit gov intrusiveness in our lives & allow US to make our own choices. Stop politicians & the elites from thinking that they’re so smart that they know how to run our lives better than we do. He is one of the few politicians that will make difficult decisions, he will balance the budget by his 3rd year, while most politicians plan to balance the budget after their term is over

VOTE RON PAUL 2012

Fluff. Not even wrong; just vacuous.

so why did the USA, at the height of Bush's World Police attitude, not commit to stopping all thise 'nasty things' like Biological weapons by signing up to such treaties? The USA ignored the Intrnl Crim. court, didn't sign Test Ban Treaties or Biological weapon ones. And it undermined the UN, the thing that is meant to be a world policeman.
