sigh, i dont know what to say really. I mean I could be harsh and say, American citizens come first, and when we are completely satisfied with their well being we could begin to help other less fortunate countries. Then again, these are only children, and they are dieing because we are not keeping our promises. Then again, is it really fair that most of the times(no offense to any citizens of other countries) that america has to pay most of the money? And fact is, other countries will still hate us. we stuck our nose in Mogadishu, and look what happened. We were only there to help. But two black hawks were destroyed, and 23(i believe) soldiers came home in body bags. Sometimes it is best to let other countries sort out their own problems. This is probably far fetched, but if the african countries formed a sort of african union, kinda like eu, im sure they could get a lot of things done. And after all this rambling, if I were put on the spot, im not sure what I would do. I suppose it would only be right if we helped to support blairs plan, since u cant put a price on a life. However, it is doubtful teh american public would care about lives in some far off country. They would think of themselves as being the priority, and if bush chose to help them he would be crtisized for that. And really, since when has politics been about doing wats right? sigh...
