Like you really need help!
Seriously. You have more resources than enough. Do you think the american people are suffering?
Well, in many poor, asian, countries, the children are now searching ruins and sewers for rat-nests. Know why? Because the rats collect seeds for the winter, and if the children found some, they'll have something to eat...
UN needed 1 biljon dollar for researching about aids, a sum they barly collected... while the USA could afford to put about $40 biljon on their military defences...
Nono, you do not suffer more than anyone else, and you are not going to go under. Stop whining, and think of how lucky you are!

Okay okay okay... i get it. But about my other point that other countries are labeling the U.S. as some kind of war mongrel when they try to help the people over throw an unfair government. Yes it's true that we are proud to be self
sufficient but all iam asking is that other countries shouldn't label our contry all these negative names just because we are trying to help




------------------
That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Istaron, while I do appreciate the general pointI think you mean to make, this can be misconstrued. Yes, it could be worse, everything anywhere "COULD" be worse. We could have had a nuclear war and all be ashes now...but that doesn't make us hurt any less for what DID happen.

Most of us do realize that there is suffering in the world on a daily basis. We are just dealing with a severe blow to our own soil, our own psyche as a nation. Please let us mourn and then worry about enlightening folk on the ills of the world, ok?

Yes We do Gwhanos. Not that that has anything to do with helping or not helping.

We don't have nuclear weapons...but we do have nuclear facilities.

At a place called Chalk River in Ontario there is a nuclear plant and it is not the only one in Canada.

There are a lot of nuclear plants...I got to tour one of them in Ontario

My father-in-law was a 'member' (can't remember official title...more like judge I think) on the Ontario Energy Board

Nostron, what in the world are you talking about? Name ONE example of where the US was just trying to help "the people overthrow an unfair government."

Objection Counselor! Highly prejudicial where did Nostron use the word "just". The introduction of that word changes the whole meaning of his statement.
Will the court reporter please read back Nostron's statement
