Friday, September 17: Should America Serve as Police Force of the World?

Ever since the emergence of the United States as a global power during
World War I, the country's military might has been increasingly exercised
in foreign lands.  Along with it, from Korea and Vietnam to Iraq and
Kosovo, there's been debate about whether America's involvement in foreign
conflicts is appropriate.  Do other countries want the United States
stepping in?  Does our country have the right to? And just who decides
where military intervention is employed, and where it is not -- Tibet is
one frequently cited example in that debate.   Join host Darrel Gray on
WMUB Forum this Friday as he talks with Laura Neack from the Miami
University Department of Political Science, Jefferey Kimball from the Miami
University Department of History, and also with Anthony Sousa, a Miami
student with an active history with the US Navy.
