In response to the world saying that we meddle in the world's affairs to much, I ask the world "experts" these questions.
What would most lkely happen if America closed all of the military bases around the world and brought all of the service men and women home?
What might happen to the world if America withdrew from the United Nations?
What might happen if America withdrew from most of the alliance treaties such as NATO?
What might happen if America stoped supplying foreign aid to other countries for things such as economic assitance or AIDS research?
What might happen if America stoped giving a rat's a$$ about anything that happened in the world that didn't directly affect America?
America is not perfect. Want to know why? Because we are human. *GASP!!* Say it isn't so!! Well, we are. But the big difference that America has over many other nations of the world IS WE TRY!
We try to produce a way of life that benefit as many people as possible. Are we perfect at it? No. But we try. We try to make things better for other countries that need a helping hand. Are we perfect at it? No. But we try. We try to fund research for diseases like AIDS in poverity stricken countries. Are we pefect at it? No. But we try.
I am so sick of most of the whole frickin world yelling at us because of what we don't do here, what we don't do there.They complain about what we might be doing in one place, but ignore what good we might be doing in another location. Nelson Mendella (sp?) in South Africa called the United States of America, " A country that doesn't care for the worlds' people" 2 days AFTER the US gave close to $10 million to South Africa for AIDS research and prevention.
I think the most of the world needs to wake the F up and take a look around to see how much their countries contribute to the better of the whole world. They I think would be surprised at how little they actually do.
