Let's explore this a bit shall we? I assume you are insinuating some slanted view against the USA, and remember.... I'm Canadian. With matters of the US I am not as biased as an American might be. You may be in Canada, but are you really a Canadian? Or are you an imigrant? Brother, you sound like some of these people from the Eastern bloc that hear propaganda-filled hatred of anything western.
So past practice it is then.....
Korea --- S. Korea is attacked and oppressed, thousands are slaughtered. They cry out to the world for help ... "Help! Anyone! Help us!! Help usss!!" and who answers the call? That's right egghead... the USA (and Canada for that matter, many Canadians died in Korea).
Vietnam -- S. Vietnamese people cry out to the world for help from the northern communist oppressors. Thousands are being slaughtered, and they cry out "Help!! We are being oppressed and have no way to defend ourselves....HELP!! HELP USSSS!!" ...... and the country to stand up and offer that help is guess who? the USA, that's right. Yes, they eventually lost that one, but the fact is they were there when no one else was.
Iraq invades Kuwait --- Thousands are killed, the whole country is in crisis, and they yell "HELP, help us!! We are being oppressed, our women raped and our people killed!!! HELP USSSS!!!" ....... and yes, it is the US (supported by the entire UN coalition forces) that again answers the fucking call. They go in, kick ass and chew bubble gum, and frankly some of the people in this world (like you perhaps) might be a bit more appreciative of this fact. Dipshit.
Kosovo--- Need I really continue on here? The Serbs were invading,... 3 million people begin running for their very lives to the nearest border, and they cry to the world "Help!! HELP US!! We are being oppressed!! Our wives and daughters are being raped, our people are being slaughtered!! Help USSSS!!!" ........ and yes good people of the world, that's right.... the US-of-of-fucking-A, along with UN and CANADIAN forces go in and again kick ass for the good of humanity. Thousands of Canadians and Americans pitch in food, blankets and raw goods to send over to those people, and we took in several thousand refugees as new citizens here as well.
bottom line is... we care. We care enough to do what other counties are unwilling to do, and we seem to get flack from fucking retards at every turn for it afterwards. One distinct difference between our countries (US & Canada) and other countries of the world is that our countrie's leaders are ACCOUNTABLE to us, the citizens, unlike dictatorships.
Maybe you should rethink your strategy a bit, and learn to see things a little differently, because those soldiers we send over to fight the next battle (possibly in YOUR country on behalf of YOUR sorry ass) are our brothers, sons, daughters, dads, nephews etc etc, and when they die for YOUR cause you won't hear us begrudging you or holding it against anyone.
It is who we are. And we care. Now fuck off.
