Yes you are right. My family escaped the Nazi's in 1939, they were friends to the Jews and hid many of them, my family saw bigotry and persecution up close. It's ugly.

We are the much "vaunted united nations" as you put it. If the UN go's in anywhere hot it's typically US troopers that are there first to do any pacification (dieing) then they send the 15 or 20 people from everyone elses army.........

Farnkly I wish it wasn't our problem but it appears that the world has depended on us since around 1914 or so...... If you want 0 US invlovement in forigen affairs does that aply to the millions/billions we **** away when mother nature decide to flush her tiolet with a typhoon or Earthquake and the US rushs to help out???

The struggle to live within the confines Mother Nature places on us is everyman's, civl/religious wars are not. I have no problem with humanitarian efforts after natural disasters, I have a big problem with fighting battles for people who won't fight for themselves.

It doesn't have to be our problem. We have no money left to give to the rest of the world! We are broke!! We have a national debt of over $9 Trillion dollars and climbing FAST! We are destitute! The wealth we have left in this country is being sold off. And please don't call me a conspiracy theorist. Even the mainstream news last night was reporting on it. ABC called their report "America For Sale".

We have been robbed by the socialists and elitist capitalists, like Rockefeller and company, and we have already given all we have to give to the rest of the world. We represent a mere 4.6% of the world population. We can't take of the world and we have no right to.

If we over-consume in this country it is because we have been duped into accepting a deceptive and evil system of money and we have bribed the rest of the world with it. Our and the European countries' meddling in Africa, for example, is what has caused all the devastation and suffering there. We have enslaved them, again with debt, with which they buy the armaments to kill themselves. The United Nations is only there to ensure that our and the European interests are maintained, not to help the people.

The American people are good people but the myth that we take care of the world is just that, a myth. Our meddling is bad and it is done with mostly evil intent. Americans need to realize, finally, once and for all, that the original Constitutionally based American government no longer exists. It was taken over systematically and methodically and replaced by an ever increasing tyrannical system of governance that is slowly but surely eliminating our Constitution piece by piece.
