Are you saying that, as a country, we should only be willing to help out those other countries that agree with our political views? I mean, what exactly are our interests? I was under the impression that we all want some semblance of peace, eventually.

I have no first hand knowledge, so if I am wrong, I apologize. I would suggest that not every time the U.S. gets involved, in a conflict, we are specifically asked to be there.
