America has done a lot of good, but it has messed up sometimes.

Carnegie became rich supplying the Germans the steel to build their arms. They went into Vietnam because the arms industry sold the idea that these rice farmers were going to turn the world into commies.

Kuwait was about protecting the worlds oil supply. No one wants Saddam in Saudi. They have done very good work in mediating in Northern Ireland.

They stood back and watched while Pol Pot murdered millions, supplied guns to right wing terrorist in South America. There is also evidence they turned a blind eye to drug dealings there.

Yugoslavia was a joint UN action and they have done good work there. The Islamic/Jewish/Israel situation needs to be sorted. But it will not be done while Amarica iis so biased towards the Jews who turned up in Israel 50 years ago and decided it belonged to them. And have continued to take whatever they wanted from the people who have lived there for centuries, including the native Jews who the dispise.

It's a far to complex a topic for the likes of us on this board.
Lets face we have problems deciding which beer to drink.
