Maj. Gen. Hammond: “Colonel, the United States is not in the business of interfering in other people’s affairs.” Colonel O’Neill: “Since when, sir?”
Isn’t it hot?

Makes me laugh every time.
Elsewhere in the galaxy…
The Doctor also has a Prime Directive:
(From Nightmare of Eden)
The Time Lords (in the classic series, at least) behaved similarly to Starfleet (IIRC, they even established a non-interference rule after the events described in “Underworld”). The Doctor would no doubt agree with SG1’s goals much of the time, just not their methods (with the exception of the Sixth Doctor, I can’t recall any of them actually using a gun).
They were much stricter than Starfleet. They believed in total non-interference, just observation. That’s why the Celestial Intervention Agency was formed, so the High Council could secretly interfere.

Better to send a bunch; with a light escort and have them go “Wolololo”
Why did I want to read this as
I guess I always prefer Firefly to Monty Python.
Also, prefer the Stargate approach, but recognise Star Trek is likely more responsible.
Technically in Stargate there were actual gods… though they predated upon the prayers offered to them iirc.
Oh wait no, that was it’s sequel, Atlantis.
Oh wait no, that was pretty much the entire thing:-).
Indeed Daniel Jackson
