No my point is that goodwill has to be earned, then it goes a long way. I don't think in the cases you cited America has earned any. Goodwill only goes far when it exists in the first place.
In other places America has, in certain places in Africa if you are an American people will love you for it.
You made two examples which just didn't make sense. Especially the charity one, USA gives the least of its money for aid out of any OECD country. How on earth is that meant to get you goodwill? And how is turning up for a war late and only when basically forced to meant to get you much goodwill?
I really think I must be completely missing your point.
