This is not a personal affront I just enjoy a good debate.
Somehow you forget that some of these nations are members of the
Arab League A group created to "Serve the common good of all Arab countries, ensure better conditions for all Arab countries, guarantee the future of all Arab countries and fulfill the hopes and expectations of all Arab countries." but has failed. Famine and poverty still permiate the land and the iron fists of oppresive leaders burn their wealth. Let's say it like it really is They will not settle for anything less than the total destruction of Isreal.
The fact that people forget history and are too lazy to read anything past a few articles and watch the news just feeds a urge to villify the largest and easiest target. the United States. When we don't help out a nation in war we are scourned internationally and when we do.. they burn our flag in the streets and seek war on us.
One more note before I address your list. Most nations who can interfere with civil war and benefit in some way DO. this is not limited to the US. Nations in this list have all meddled in a civil war at some point, but see MUCH less press "propoganda" about it.
France
England
Iran
Egypt
The Former Soviet Union
China
Cuba
I'm sure there are Many many more I'm just getting very tired. and have so much more to say.
Lebanon: was at war with itself for some 20 years with one short little break for less than a year.
Grenada: was occuspied by a nation that had already been a nuclear threat to us in the past.
Libya: I don't know enough about and can't say anything about so i won't
Panama: Noriega had already declared that a state of war between the US and Panamaand threatened the Americans living in Panama, not to mention killing an unarmed American Soldier.
Kuwait/Iraq: IRAQ invaded Kuwait HELLO?
Somalia: was a United Nations Chapter 7 intervention into the Republic of Somalia, aimed to avert a growing humanitarian disaster in that increasingly lawless country, which was suffering from a severe famine, general chaos, and domination by a number of warlords following the collapse of Siad Barre's Marxist government.
Haiti: The de facto military government resigns at the request of the United States in September, which then sends in troops to occupy Haiti. This occupation is sanctioned by the United Nations. The U.S. returns Aristide as president October 15.
Bosnia This was a result of Genicide in Bosnia read more
8,000 massacred
Afghanistan: WELL DUH hello? where have you been? in a cave in Syria hanging out with O Sama?
Iraq: This war is a pile of shit and I'm tired
