In my lifetime, even with the foolish Bay of Pigs fiasco & other silly moves, America has never bombed until she has tried to resolve issues diplomatically. Twelve or more years trying to negotiate w/ Saddam substantiates that.
“EVERY” nation on the planet makes mistakes.
“NO” nation moves along making no mistakes,
“IF” they are doing something at all.
America has made her fair share of them.
But do NOT tell us the rest of the world has made no mistakes. They have just done a super job making sure the media do not plaster their mistakes on front pages or nightly newscasts! Government control of so much permits that!
And for those internationally, know that there are many Americans who would “love” to simply pull back & let the rest of the world sink into the abyss they seem hell bent on jumping into. Most of us know this would not be wise.
Comparing America’s mistakes with the horrific actions of despotic nations, is pure bunk. Just how disingenuous some can be always amazes me.
We do not embrace socialism. We are capitalists & that system has made us profitable & successful. It has cost us as well as we go into debt helping poor nations over the entire planet. Some would say, perhaps we should stop spending money on others & just pay off our own debts while allowing the world to fall apart?
The problem… we would end up being called in to “fix” the problems anyway.
China could have & should act to allow aid in. Five million is a pittance when it comes to what is needed in Burma.
