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. That is an unshakeable truth.

Yeah right. Just like America helped with the IRA, or with ETA in Spain. Just like the US defended Tibet. And how it's doing a lot to help in Sudan.

Your worldview is a complete and total delusion. America intervenes when it helps America. The earlier you learn that, the better.

I consider that more the UN's fault that the US's fault. The Sudan anyway. Same with Zimbabwe.

Why does noone help Zimbabwe. The most i've seen any country do is England. What have they done? Decided to ban Zimbabwe from some cricket tournament.

Result: Britain may lose hosting rights since Zimbabwe is one of the 8 founding members.

The real problem isn't the US acting but only when it's in the US's best interests.

It's the UN not acting. Ever. If the UN actually formed a REAL army... expelled and actually fought countries committing genocides and causing other serious hardships on it's people you couldn't blame America for picking and choosing because things would actually get done.

Perhaps the UN would of been able to get something of real worth done if it didn't extend membership to the problem nations in the first place. As much as I hate Bush the whole replacing the UN with a version that only included democracies makes a lot of sense.

 My church has been donating very generously to Zimbabwe for a few years now. Its not nearly enough, but we give them essentials, as well as some things to do for fun. We also have sent people over there to build houses, schools, hospitals, etc.
