America in the abroad countries in the name of police of the
world have been met with numerous controversies just as it has
been in the case of Syria and Libya.
The United States of America is in most cases seen as the police
of the world. This is demonstrated by the constant involvement
of the country in many abroad countries using their military
might to intervene in times of crisis. The intervention has
however been bet with a lot of controversies as demonstrated in
the two different scenarios such as in the case of 2014
intervention against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

launching of the Syrian and American aerial attack on the ISL
in Syria and Iraq. Among them include killing of children and
innocent civilians that have resulted in a lot of refugees’ crisis.

including the involvement of the terror groups in the country. In
fact, Libya is worse as compared to the time when it was still
under Gaddafi (Ronzitti, 2013). All these actions can be traced
to the new and adopted foreign policy that advocates for the
protection of the human rights. In the process of invading these
nations, America gave an explanation of the fact that they were
coming in with the sole aim of protection of the rights of the
citizens for the countries. They were to do this through the
elimination of things such as terrorism and dictatorship (In
Bolt, In Coletta, & In Shackelford, 2011)
