With the US being considered by most of the world as a super power, other countries always look to us when in need. Fortunately, we are a rich country and are able to help. Whether it’s due to natural disasters (we always send money and people) or due to some type of oppression, we are the first that help is requested from. An example would be certain countries in Africa that were experiencing ethnic cleansing. It just seems to me that if we ignore the cries for help, we’re horrible. But if we heed the cries for help, we’re warmongers and accused of creating problems out of nothing. Please remember that the places we’ve stepped into are places that were already experiencing serious unrest and/or murders, rapes, etc. I don’t think it’s necessarily a matter of being ignorant or overly aggressive. As far as Iraq is concerned, and I do believe the invasion of Iraq is the driving force behind your question, I believe that it began as an emotional reaction and a demand for some type of ‘spanking’ to punish for the horrors experienced from 9/11. It eventually became a matter of not backing down, which is why I feel we are still there. I don’t know how much this helped as it is all just opinion!
