tejek,

re:......I thought you had more experience with foreign cultures

Asian, but even they know when it's time to concede. Or have their face "take a shit" as they say.

re:There are a lot of people much worse off than the Iraqis in this world. I guarantee you we will never do squat for them.


Duh, no shit - that's why I said "Very few times does a good thing line up with our national interests, look at Africa."

We're not exactly racing over to Africa to depose ten or so dictators that need killing for what they do to their people. There's no national interest over there for us - reality is we don't have the money or the manpower - besides no one else cares and we'd just be the Americans with our idea's of freedom and other nasty habits.
