Ali we don't even have peace within our borders, we are a country divided... how can you imagine we can give peace to others?

We have been systematically divided between right and left for years while the rich took the whole country. So if you don't have anything that the ultra rich who rule America want.... they aren't going to do anything.. unless some group forces them into it.

The conscience of what was once a great country (as individuals) simply no longer exists.

Nope. The USA has been badmouthed enough for getting involved elsewhere. The rest of the world needs to find some other country to do the dirty work for it and get kicked in the teeth for it's efforts. If we're gonna get a bunch of crap from the rest of the world, then we're better off getting crap for doing nothing than pouring out our resources and the lives of our military for an ungrateful bunch of lazy bastages that won't get off their asses and do any of the dirty work themselves.

So are you saying that in the past all the sortees of the USA around the globe have been on purely humanitarian grounds ?

The rest of the world didnt ask the Us or anyone else to do the dirty work.Those decisions were made by the leaders at the time.
I respect the lose of those in the Us military,i would ask you to respect the lose of those in the military of other nations,who also fought.handshake

So you're implying that none of the USA sortees around the globe were on purely humanitarian grounds? You wouldn't be the only one saying such things and I'm becoming used to it, which is precisely why Americans are more and more feeling like responding to cries for American intervention in ANYTHING with a big one-finger salute. If we're going to be accused of doing everything for our own self-interests only, then we might as do just that. No financial aid. No troops for peacekeeping missions. No interference, military or disaster aid. Not unless it's entirely in our own self interest because sure as hell that's what we're going to hear whether it was or wasn't, anyway.

Of course, this is all just a bit of venting at all the badmouthing of the US. I have no doubt when your government comes whining to us that they need help that we will, indeed, roll up our sleeves and do it. And you and your ilk will, indeed, continue to sneer about the US and US involvement in world affairs. And our disagreement on it will have no bearing at all on anything except that you let me know how you feel about America and I let you know that I hope such opinions are taken into consideration by the leaders of this country when we're urged to "help" (which amounts to doing all the heavy lifting for other countries).

Could you please try to be slightly less dramatic while you're deflecting, and evading the question?laugh

You can always answer, "I don't know", that would at least be an honest answer.roll eyes

p.s. Gina, weren't you the one that made the post on cognitive bias? Think about the tendency of people to see and acknowledge only what "evidence" supports their pre-conceived beliefs. Don't assume I would see "Inside Job" the same way you do because I don't have preconceived notions about all this class warfare nonsense and so I'm not going to buy into carefully massaged popaganda pieces the way you do.
