Very true. However, Smider has a point too. We do need to help out when we can. If we never did, England would be part of Germany, and Hawaii would be Japanese.

Again, man.
No he wasn't. Every country in the world knows this except for 47% of Americans (according to the most recent US poll I saw)
Bin Ladden and Hussein were not teamed up. It's astonishing how many americans refuse to accept the fact that you were given bad info by your government.

At least not 'officially'... *wink, wink* *nudge, nudge*

Because if it wasn't for us, he would still be in power slaughtering his people. Or is that what you want? Because we cant just walk away now, we must establish a government for them first. Would you agree with that?

Like I had mentioned before, I am not worried with what others think of us. We may have a lasting positive impact on the region (or not). It isn't popular what is going on, thats OK.

.........we own the world pretty much and we have to run it.
For your information, Americans do not "...own the world pretty much ..". You need to stop making stupid statements like that and give people some reason to like you instead of dislike you further.
Also, Americans do not " ..... have to run it.". The world is made up of many sovereign states which are independent of the US. The US being the most powerful has a moral responsibility to help and assist poorer nations whenever it can, WITHOUT asking for or expecting anything in return.
