When a foreign country incurs a natural disaster or requires aid the first country that is always looked to for providing it is the US. As someone said earlier look at the past 70 years or even the past 10 and see how much the US has exported in total assets to other countries. Regardless of what you think of Bush don't believe the media when it comes to coverage on the wars. Talk to troops who have been there. A retired 1st LT from the air force works in my R+D department and was a former Tac-P (Tac-Ps travel with marine/army platoons to call/provide air support when needed) and he says the media coverage so far off the deep end on reporting postives about the wars.

Im not even going to address the Hitler/nuke comment . You are 17 years old and you have a lot to learn.

 

what i wonder is how much our country wants to give compared to how much we ahve to give i mean at times it seems that a big part of it is, okay we cant not give here since x countries is going to.... so how much

Well with that question there is a lot of gray area there. If we were truly "evil" we wouldn't give anything but then again, as with most things there is always a hidden agenda and something to gain. Take the Berlin Airlift following the end of WW2. Every 30 seconds a US cargo plane landed in East Germany with food/supplies etc etc. Obviously in that instance we wanted to help that the ppl on our side of Germany but at the same time we wanted to show democracy and our way was a lot better than Communism. So we sent aid and a crapton of it and East Germany became the much better half of Germany in many ways. Good question that's got me thinking too
