You would want China or Russia to come to our aide?
Dude, or dudette, we can take care of business here, all on our own!
Skrew that.
no, not any more we can't...we're not a world leader any longer, we are weak and very misinformed, actually very naieve and stupid...
We don't have the resources to enter into a major war...we can't take care of ourselves and we are broke...and yes,
I would hope that if we had a huge earthquake or volcano, and it's only a matter of time until we do, that other countries would come to our aid
including Russia or China....but they won't....b/c we've bullied and bullied and used up all our chips...
I repeat, if innocent people are being murdered brutally and senslessly, then I believe we should help them...in any way we can....we are all human beings, we all bleed the same...and yes I do wonder about the Ivory Coast killings and why we have not yet gotten involved? For a long long time now...
So you would have supported invading Iraq for humanitarian reasons,would attack China as well?:

What the hell??
Wake the F up, dude(or dudette)
You must not be from the USA!!!!
We don't need anyone to come to our aide. PERIOD
What makes you think we can't take care of our own when they get out of line. I am my own army, with millions just like me.
You seem to think FEMA is the save all of natural disasters.
We handled things much better, more efficient and faster, before FEMA.
Guess you don't know the history of the USA, before FEMA!!! It shows tremendously.
Educate yourself with just one or two of the major disasters and the efforts to help and rebuild, before FEMA.
Lets see...
SF earthquake and the Galveston Hurricane, at the turn of the last century. Let me know what you find out???
I think it would be better to not be involved in a civil war...and not to aid one side.
Isn't this the President acting unilaterally???
Unilaterally? No, unilaterally is what we did going into Iraq, forcing our way in there not giving a care to what the international community thought. This is a lot different- the Arab League pleaded with the UN Security Council to do something- they voted to do this- so the US along with NATO allies and even a couple middle eastern countries are doing these air strikes. That is pretty much the OPPOSITE of unilateral.
