Myth #12 It is America's Duty to Be The Unpaid Policeman of the World

Perhaps you know that North Korea has nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles.  What we don't know is if they can make their nuclear weapons small enough to fit on their ballistic missiles.  The bad news is that the North Korea's are making threats against South Korea, Japan and the United States to use their nuclear weapons in a preemptive first strike.

The United States of course responded with plans to beef up anti-missile missiles on the West Coast and plans will surely follow to beef up defenses in Japan and South Korea.  All of course for big bucks to the American taxpayer. 

But why?  If you are Japan or South Korea what would you pay to get anti-missiles installed in your turf to keep North Korea from dropping a nuclear bomb on your head.  I am thinking we could even make a handsome profit.  Of course, we can stick with the current plan of borrowing money from China, passing the debt on to our children, and pretending like we are rich.
