Should the United States of America be the world's police?

We often seem to take on that role in the conflicts we get involved in. It's often not for better.

Is this a role that we simply have to be in as a wealthy superpower?

That's a bit of a misconception perpetrated, generally by Republicans.
What tends to happen is that events are made known. May even get as far as discussion within the U.N.
Then America seems to pick a fight with one side over another of it's own accord (depending on their 'interest' in the region) and screws with anything worked out by other member states as the U.S. then hides behind a 'veto' for anything under discussion.
