And I don't see why the US is responsible for keeping North Korea in check when it is really South Korea and Japan's problem. I think we and the world would be better off if we looked internally and stopped getting involved with the rest of the world. Whatever goes wrong we seem to be blamed anyways.

America is always expected to intervene when minorities/innocents are being murdered in religious wars in the East but then heavily criticised when there are innocent casualties of that intervention.
Opposers of American intervention are quick to justify American deaths as collateral damage but scream blue murder when native innocents are accidentally killed during those interventions. Damed if they do, damned if they don't. It is a no win situation. But it does give American haters the excuse to portray Americans as the 'big bad wolf'.
Opposers shout about American interests, but this is, in my opinion, just a distraction tactic and again an attempt to blame America and the West for all the world's ills. Maybe we should just leave them to it and let them kill each other.
