How dare we help other countries facing genocide or who need assistance!!!! Its only the U.S. that matters in this world!!! There is no other country that matters!!!!!
I am so angry right now that the U.S. spends my money to save lives and improve others situations across the world!!! |

and who created those situations? (when we were previously "helping"?) (just asking) (i am all for helping the poor, godforsaken haitians. of course, we "helped" them from 1919 to 1934)

We are not God's answer to the world's problems, but we are still the only country able to provide the answers, IF we get our act together.
As much as I like Ron Paul, he speaks as an outsider. Put him in the White House and he will quickly be weighed down by the reality of internal intelligence reports, voter apathy, and dealing with one or multiple domestic or international disasters. Just like Obama. Should we be the policeman of the world? Should anybody be? Would we be better off if China took over that role?

I will agree that we haven't helped the Iraqis and have only made their lives worse. But Afghanis? I would like to think we are at least trying to help. And we have very good reasons to be over in Afganistan. Where as Iraq we didn't/don't...

basically, afghanistan is a black hole, which everyone from the english to the russians have already figured out. unless, possibly, we had other reasons for rushing in there? i.e. a replay of the "great game" / cold war ?

Wonder how it would have turned out if another country rushed to our "aid" during our civil war ?
I think the hipocratic oath and star track have something to say about this issue. Do no harm Do not intervene. |

That was not unthinkable, both the french and english were being lobbied by the south to become involved and create a separate nation that would have friendly trade relations with europe. One of the reasons for the Emancipation Proclamation was to try to keep the european powers from becoming involved (by making a "moral" argument). Old europe had no problem fighting proxy wars in the new world.

I'm sorry but I can't see the logic in that. 50 years ago, sure. Today?
