(11,841 posts)What shape would the world be in today if it were not for the US? When disaster strikes WHO does everyone hope to hear from? How many people would STILL be oppressed if not for the US & our allies?
Yes, we have some fucked up people and we've made mistakes. Iraq was probably the worst foreign policy decision in our history. But even with our debt, we STILL step up when other countries are slammed with quakes or floods or what have you. EVERY time. Even Iran has gotten help from us.
And I also bet the poster you're responding to has no intention of packing his bags for any other location. He's content to bitch and whine about every past transgression and act like the klan runs the country.
I, too, have lived in a couple foreign countries and felt the same as you. I'd love to cherry pick a few things and bring them back to the US.
If you dont mind, what kind of job took you to so many different places?
