Well you cant help it, America is the world police, it is the sole superpower in the post wold war era. From history, America has alway been a life preserver, same in my heart. Plus you cant have double standard, you can choose to help those who you have interests in and abandon those who has no geopolitic, resources interests.

Maybe we need a WWIII to speed it up since fission is the by-product of WW2 wish i am only joking. Government do need to increase investment in R&D of Fusion, it is our future, wind energy, wave energy, solar energy, these are all temporary for the arrival of Fusion and i do hope i will able to see it before my days.

Everyone outside the US only focus on our error's (While at the same time conveniently forgetting their errors) and never the things we have done right. Again I feel we should focus on our problems and let the world correct it's problems without us.

I am sure not everybody hate America, well just to give a smile on your face, i am a big fan of America, i love her system, love the value it stands, equality, liberty and freedom, "used" to support most of action she takes, but lately thing went downhill, and that was a disappointment

You know there is a Chinese proverb, when a tree grow too big, it attract most of the wind, i think that might apply to America's situation

It might not be your business to feed the world, but human lives are the same, i am sure you wont say NO when thousands are dying, these might not be the problem of the people, but the government of those nations, look at Burma, their leader sucks, tho what can their people do? Revolution

thanks for the last comment, appreciate that, umm i know sometimes it's hard to understand why America is always the target of everything
From wars to globalisation to environmental issue.


PS: Here is a phrase from The United States Declaration of Independence:
"Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness"

that is the right of everyone, i am sure your founding fathers fought hard for these rights, and maybe it's time for America to help those less fortune
