I disagree. I dont think that anybody would have said "Where was the United States" When things went awry in other countries. We are not responsible for anybody but us in the long run so it would be ludicrous to claim otherwise. That'd be like saying "Where was britain when 9-11 happened?"

What bothers me about some of these is this: We are in Iraq now to topple Sadam and install a democratic gov right? If we are such patriots of democracy why then did we overthrow SEVERAL democratic governments and install dictators??????? I dont think the world is a better place because we were in Vietnam, i dont think the world is a better place because we trained osama bin laden, and i dont think the world is a better place because we gave sadam weapons and now are trying to take them away!

The united States has done some wonderfull things for other nations. This is true, and you are right there are ALWAYS two sides to every story. The problem is that most americans only want to hear the side where we are the victims. Never the advesaries...
