Personally, I don't think the US, let alone any countries "help" people for the sake of helping. They do so, to protect assests, or protect interests. My history is a bit shakey, but I believe it took a direct attack on the US before they got into WW2. Fear of communism spreading for vietnam, probably same for Korea "domino theory." I think we know about current events as well. On the flip side, why has it taken so long to address darfor region, surely some good could have been done there...maybe some will if terrorist continue to try to move in. As nice as it is to think that countries like the U.S are the guardians of all that is good and that we fight wars to help people, in reality that is mostly propaganda. Now, I'm not saying I don't love my country, or support troops, or realize and apperciate the great sacrifices of so many to protect our countries assests, interests, and way of life. But after a war, and the spoils sorted, I don't think it's fair to go on and then expect everyone to say thank you for 50-100-200 years and bow down. That's like helping a guy who is getting mugged, getting is money instead of the mugger, than extorting him for money for years on end.....Of course the mugger might beat you, then you don't get the money, but continue to extort because you tried. All this to try to explain some really arrogant, rude, and cheap shotted postings here.
