You certainly know your history! As we learned in our college level history classes, history was written by the victors. The "winners" always put their spin on the events which led up to any conflict. And the bottom line is power. Whether the power is land, money or simply leadership it's always power that instigates the wars.

I am not against helping those who, for whatever reason, cannot help themselves. However, I still hold to my opinion that the United States (and yes, like all nations the US always has their interests in the highest of regard) should not, in spite of those interests, act at the Police Department or the Hospitals of the entire world. Help, of course. Take on all the troubles of the world, no.

Thank you for your viewpoint.
