What? USA helps people out of goodwill? That's news to me.

Your right. America should call in all of the loans & aid that it gave Europe after WW2 for the reconstruction. Adding in interest, it should fix our entire national debt.

You forgot Japan. You know, the ones that declared war on us, and then after we beat the shit out of them we rebuilt there country.

We wish the Japanese had declared war on us...

I see this anti-US thing around here a lot.  I guess it's considered an acceptable bigotry.  But calling us out on goodwill?  Okay, I say we accept that criticism, charge back all of the billions we spend annually on foreign aid, and call it a good deal; we'll let Canada pick up our humanitarian slack.

OT: The nuclear genie's out of the bottle.  I don't want North Korea to get the bomb, naturally, but apparently the UN isn't even good for a sternly worded criticism:

I think it's time for our policymakers to concede that, sooner or later, everyone who wants them is gonna have nukes; it's time to figure out how to get along in a world like that.
