Right, you destroy a nation, get so many people killed, then you build a few schools.
Come on, Economically, no one spends anything in development close to what they'd spend in interfering,
Why would you? You only benefit from helping in International good will. But you benefit much more in the 2nd thing. Good will doesn't fuel tanks, aircraft carriers or feed the burger-chomping populace, does it?
The charity is what the government shows YOU. Otherwise, they'd have another Vietnam on their hands.
Wake up, get out from under the propaganda and smell the gun powder.
Until Blood Diamonds, a good number of Americans actually thought Africa was a country (Even the then President said in a National Address right after 9-11, '... and the country of AFRICA')
and they still need to mention each African country with, 'Africa' afterwards or most of you simply wont get what the hell they are talking about.
And its with that ignorance that the US reaches out and 'touches people' in as ungainly a fashion as a bumbling Giant can muster.
To be fair, its not your fault.
Europe went through a 1000 years of turmoil to reach the maturity they exhibit, and even then, look what they did with colonialism. US some how feels with just 200 years of experience, they can jump in anywhere and 'do the right thing' when much of their decisions have to answer to the avarice of massively over-consuming nation.
How else can you interact with nations except to bully them. Kindness doesn't pay your ever-increasing bill.
