But just like in our personal lives, we cannot help someone that doesn't want help and we should not force our "help" onto them.
The greatest rewards in life come from the battle to achieve that reward. If it is given to you.....it was never yours.
That may be true to Iraq, although actually people probably did want help at that time until the Taliban started murdering everyone.
But we do help alot of countries break freedom from corrupt government and such. If it was in other countries best interest, ect, China, Russia, don't you think they would be more involved themselves?? They don't care. That's the problem!

Mass murder for profit? Let me guess your saying Iraq? You do understand Sadam killed and raped people for absolutely no reason? You do realize we are heroes for saving that country from becoming a current day Iran.
Your next argument would be oil. We hold the largest reserves of oil here in America. Also, Iraq, has bids for their oil fields from other countries like Russia and ect, we get minimal oil from their.
Now say your argument.

So are you saying Sadam was a good leader? Was it better if we left them alone? Do you think a civilized earth we want is better with him there?

I wonder who it was that supplied Saddam with weapons for him to carry out acts of murder?
Surely not America...
Your foreign policy sucks...Just face it.

Why not do a little research into who the primary arms suppliers to Saddam's military were before falling in with the crowd and posting B.S.?

Wow...well done to America for not getting involved...after getting involved (when you shouldn't have been involved in the first place) in regards to the Vietnam War.
Confusing?
Nobody denies the amount of aid America gives to other countries, but when you see how much conflict has also been caused by America in the last century...
Say no more.

So America did not supply Saddam in any way, shape or form? GTFO...
The vast bulk of the Iraqi army was Soviet manufactured and supplied hardware. At the start of the Iran/Iraq war the UN placed a unilateral arms embargo on both Iran and Iraq in an effort to force the belligerents to make peace which put an end to direct Soviet resupply.

Contrary to the vocal minority who try to to vilify the term, patriotism is not a bad word. Unless you can specifically refute any of the points I have made I don't think you can truthfully say my opinion is blinded by anything
Don't be blinded by your patriotism..Anybody can list the good things about their country till they're red, white and blue in the face (pun intended).
That is a coincidence, I am an American person.
Had a good chuckle though at your attempt of trying to explain the Vietnam War...to a Vietnamese person.

Because as a history buff ( more specifically war history, as it seems to be mans crowing achievement unfortunately) I can tell you, compared to any other country in history with the kind of clout America carries in our time, all the others were way way way worse by factors.
So just name which country we should model our foreign policy off of, since there are obviously so many better examples to follow than ours?
Also, America invested alot in ending the last 2 wars the world brought to our door step. We have a investment in blood and lives to protect the peace we paid a high price for. If all you other fools would get some act right, we would never be in the position we are now, we would still be a "power" in the world, but not the lone super power.
I know stop raping and killing and causing genocide, all the while asking where America is to save you, and we will stop saving your saorry asses from your own ignorance.
Next time a world war starts, once again it wont be America that starts it, we will though, once again have to end it with our citizens lives. Just remember, America didnt make this world, we are one of the youngest countries on it, We are just dealing with # from every corner, somtimes it splatters when it hits the fan.
