Tell the millions of people who got slaughtered in SE Asia after we
left how bad a job we were doing. We weren't in Rwanda. The Belgiums
were. In typical European fashion as soon as the shooting started they
tucked tail and ran like Hell even though they could have easily
stopped the slaughter with the forces present. The people in
Afghanistan and Iraq seem to happy with our prescensce. You learn
these things when an anti-American hate rag like the New York Times
isn't your only source of information.

Please. That figure has been debunked so many times its a bit shocking
to see anyone still cite it. Those figures only count government
giving. Once you add in private donations the US gives more than the
rest of the world combined.

Since you plainly feel like America isn't the place for you, I'd like
to remind you that all of the exits are open.
