But like I said in another post, there were so many horrible in the world and so many horrible and bloody civil conflicts, but the US didn't do anything about them. There was Pol Pot in Cambodia, I don't remember any air strikes ordered against him (I use this example a lot because my girlfriend's family used to live there, but managed to escape to Canada in 1981, I believe). There is currently a very deadly war going in Sudan right now. North Korea is a virtual prison state.

This is my problem Torog, and I'm sure a lot of people's problems.

"Americans ain't as bad as you think they are and you should have more faith in them-to do the right thing. Americans do care about their country and other countries,more so than anyone else..sometimes to a fault."

When will you understand that America doesn't give a flying fuck about people? When will you notice that only people you're trying to 'liberate' are the people in the Middle-East? There are bad dictators all around the world, yet Bush probably can't even pronounce their names because they don't have valuable resources that you could use.

Hmmm... Is it a coincidence that Iraq has one of the largest oil reserves in the world? Probably not, right?
Well I believe the US does care about people, but just not enough to justify spending government money without getting something back in return. It is sad, but we are pretty much a selective ally. Give us something in return and we will help you out.
