But it still isn't our business to go around the world and free people just because they dont like their leader. Hell ... if we did that, half the world would be under US attack .. then we'd prolly turn on ourselves to throw King George out. We're not the saviours or the police of the world. We have to look out for our OWN and not be the do-boys for the rest of humanity.

people of less fortunate countries are gonna hate the USA until our economy and way of life crumble... it's simply human nature. they hate us if we don't help them and they hate us when we do. it's an endless cycle of the haves and have nots. it's called envy.

en·vy ( P ) Pronunciation Key (nv)
n. pl. en·vies

A feeling of discontent and resentment aroused by and in conjunction with desire for the possessions or qualities of another.



edit: BTW nice article tom:bigok:

I dont see the Austrailians or Chinese being hated by the Iraqi's because they didn't help them. Hell ... I guess Canada must have a LOT of enemies now, eh?

I also don't see them on the bottom of the totem pole. The point is when you flex your power over the world in an effort to control how it runs, people tend to not appreciate you.

this is the oldest catch 22 in the book. my point is that they hate us when we intervene and they hate us when we don't. you take the good with the bad.. that's the facts of life:chuckles:
