Of course the US does things that suits her, just as every other country in the world does. I never said we did anything out of benevolence either, I suspect we rarely ever do, it usually has to do with money, politics, power, or other such items.

If you read some of my other posts, I generally am not a USA cheerleader. I think we are one of the most wasteful, corrupt, and stupid countries ever to grace the face of this planet, and the Iraq boondoggle is an example of that, quite probably the worst mistake in US history.

but face it, we did save your Butts in WWII! Not long ago, you guys controlled a good deal of the civilized world, now you don't, and that is your own fault, not ours. Just like when the US becomes unraveled in a few decades it will be our fault, not yours.
