US is a hero
Heroes protect people while bullies harass people. Police protects people's rights and safety while criminals harm people's rights and safety. However, the difference in heroes and bullies, police and the criminal is only one thing, the boundary of defining their rights. US is definitely the strongest country in the world. It spends the most money on Army than other countries and has the best technologies. However, being strong doesn't mean that it can be the police of the world. US is currently acting as a mean bully not a hero of the world by two reasons.
US does not act fair. In international matters, international laws and the country's law related to the affair is the most important and prior law and it must be fulfilled. However, US has been keep disobeying the international law and kept on playing on their own advantage. For example, when assassinating Bin laden, the US did not tell the Pakistan government about the mission and did not give Bin laden chance of getting trial in the court. Moreover, US buried toxic chemicals in Korea without any permission or inform to the Korean government. This shows that US is not acting fair but only for their profit which cannot be justified.
It performs in radical and violent ways. When having the power to make contracts and profit in peaceful ways, US uses radical and violent ways which can give them worse side effects in order to gain more profit such as the approval rate of the government. For example, when handling the drug problem in US, when it has the power and money capable of solving the problem in Dutch way which is focused on solving the addiction of the citizen and breaking the market price, US attacks the drug farms which is in other countries. This deepened the problem of drugs in US by more demand but less supply which raised the market price.
A country is selfish. It must be selfish in order to give their citizen profit. However, the competition between countries must be fair and be done in peaceful way. US is a strong and selfish country which gives profit to its country. However, in international view, US is only a country which tries to rule other country with its own power. There is a proverb that still water runs deep. US should act fairly and peacefully to achieve their goals.
1. THB country can do anything for their own good

That song is funny. I remember when it came out. Anyways, some good ideas here and some good examples. We can definitely find more than enough ammunition when firing criticisms at the US. But if not them, who else? Is is natural for a superpower to emerge and dominate? While the US has brawn, does it have the brains to use it wisely? What if Norway was the world police instead? Or, worst case scenario, China??
