Hate America all you want. Just know that we will be there for you no matter how ungrateful you are. When a country invades, or terrorists attack you, America will stand by you. No questions asked.

Amen

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is a big IF in that statement.  If you are being attacked by a dictator or terrorists AND we have something to gain from helping you we will.  I didn't see us complaining when we funded Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan against the Soviets or when we back up Israel when it uses attack helicopters to take out a lone target on a crowded civilian street, nor did I see us run to the rescue to stop any of the African genocides.  Maybe we would have saved countries like Rwanda if they had oil...
