When a country cries for the help of the US to aid the freedom of their people who are being massacred in broad daylight, Bush does nothing. He held up his hand and turned away. When a country does it secretly, not against as many people (Saddam did kill a load of people but not nearly on the scale of what I'm talking about), in a rich country where the arch-nemesis of his daddy reigns... Bush invades. --BoB

So it's wrong for the US to act in its own self-interests? Whose interests should we promote then? Your country's interests? Every country's interests but our own? Are we the slaves of the world?

Where were all the other hundreds of countries in the world who could've sent aid? Did they send military aid, EVER? I don't recall hearing about it. But if the US sends aid LATE, we're seen as evil. The solution, then, is to do nothing at all, right? That seems to be what you need to do in the world to be thought well of. Just pretend that no problems exist, bury your head in the sand, and pray that someone else takes care of things for you. Because if you try to solve a problem, and you make even the tiniest mistake, or take too long, or step on some toes, well then, your country is just a selfish, evil empire, right?

Did you ever consider blaming the people who are doing the killing actual killing, i.e. the dictators and psychopaths and rebel armies and terrorists and fanatics, instead of blaming the person / country who doesn't come to stop it fast enough for your liking?

Exactly which problems in the world is the US NOT to blame for? That list is likely shorter than the ones we are to blame for, from what I hear.
