I don't expect many people will agree with me on this, but it is what it is and we can only speak as we see it.

Why is it that many Americans get all huffy and throw up their arms in disgust at the "help" given to those countries in need when the money spent on "helping" other countries is a pittance compared to the money spent blowing other countries up?
If we had stayed the hell out of Iraq, Afganistan

Oh, so you admit the US does do some good from time to time by helping other countries in need?
I think many Americans would prefer helping other countries than waging wars, But there again. Both Helping other Countries AND waging wars have been thrown in our faces as examples of the US attempting to take control of other countries either by economic or military means...
So, now, which is it?

Im 26 and in my life time I cant think of a situation that the USA has involved itself in which hasnt gotten worse.
But apart from that they have just been a bunch of yahoos running round the world trashing things.

Well you can fund your beloved wars out of your own pocket and pick up a gun and go yourself as i want neither part.
Sorry but i dont see how it the usa or uk job to sort the ME out?
They have been killing each over for thousands of years and will continue to do so,
There dirty piece of sand is certainly not worth my life and if its not worth my life then i sure as hell dont want others from my country dieing over that god forsaken place either.
But lets take Syria shall we? Both sides were as bad as each other, both sides had pretty evil people and whoever one would continue the blood shed. So in my opinion we should have kept clear.
Neither Iraq nor Afganistan wanted our help. So we should have kept clear.
Isreal? Why do we support them when they have huge stockpiles of WMDs yet do not follow the same rules the rest of the WMD holding country do?
