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.

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

The moral of the story is that there is no excuse for future injustices.

Just because your great great great great great great great grandfather had an affair, that doesn't give your husband/wife an excuse to cheat on you.

Everyone is evil ok, well not evil and def. not good - grey - half and half. Deal with it and karma is bullshit.

The poor people are getting fucked over Wall street and those same people are getting fucked over their lost lives in pointless wars.

These wars are making money for the rich people while they ruin the economy and put bullets in to the head of your children while you vote Republican coz you hate weird, Muslim, funny talking, beard wearing, religious (just not your religion) and confused people.

I think Karma probably affects Obieslut myself.  He's never seemed like a very happy person to me.

   I of course can only talk for myself.  But there is a certain, specific group of weird, Muslim, funny talking, beard wearing, religious confused people I hate.  And it has NOTHING to do with them being weird, Muslim, funny talking, beard wearing, religious confused people.

  It more has to do with this group directly causing a couple buildings in my country to fall down, and kill a few people.

We can argue whether the war is pointless another time (personally, I believe that it was never justified but that the people of Iraq will be far better off as a result) but poor people are certainly not being negatively impacted because of the war. People made a decision to join the military because it offered opportunities far better than the ones they had outside of the military, and as a result they have received far more education and training (as well as a far higher wage); at the same time they knew joining the military had the risk of them going off to war and dying. You can no more say that the poor are being "Fucked" by the war than you can say that Countrywide financial is being "Fucked" by the sub-prime fallout; they took on a risk and are now facing the consequence of that risk.

Like i said "grey". Where is your reasoning behind your view when you can't even admit that A- there is no free education in the US, B-the military wage is dismal hence the use of PMC's to substitute, C- die for a cause eh? what cause exactly? tell me what cause, terrorism? that's pretty broad isn't it?
