The U.S. also never would have got involved if they were not attacked. The U.S. is great at wiping out third world countries I'll give you that. They don't get involved when the fight is close to being even. Watch they will be pulling out of Iraq soon and changing their toon as to what their objective was.
Your a typical blind American idiot. You take the first personal shot "You probably have a small penis" then complain and act like the innocent when someone fires back. Just another ignorant American trait. Jenna and krackman do something most Americans don't do and read a book once in awhile. It would sharpen your mind so that dumb things like you just did here would suddenly be glaringly obvious.

Once again LMAO! They most certainly did. And thank the good lord the Japs bombed Pearl Harbor, because the Americans got involved. We had to when the Canadians showed up with hockey sticks! Canadian military?? Now there's an oxy-moron.
I've been reading this horseshit and it really disturbs me when some Americans say some of the things they do. Has the U.S. done wrong things?? You bet your ass we have. What country hasn't? If you can name ONE country that is not acting in it's own self-interest your full of shit. Hey, there's oil in Iraq! Good! Let's take it! Let's get some of the money that the hard-working taxpayers have paid to get rid of this dictator and threat to the free world and it's security, not to mention the american lives lost.
It's really funny to me that some think that America is this big charitable foundation. Like we're a foundation started by Mother Theresa. Wake the hell up! We should go into places, liberate them, rid the world of dictators and oppressors and not take any of the "spoils" of war. It's happened throughout the history of the world my friend, to the winners go the spoils. Unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world, we never have and we never will. Unfortunately for some, America and what we stand for is the best viable option we have today. And that's not an opinion, that's a fact. Look at the dictatorships and communist countries that have fallen over the last 2 decades. We never attacked Russia, look what happened there. We didn't have to attack them, their ideaology is contrary to every human instinct we have. To do good work and get compensated accordingly.
I would truly love to see how fast George Bush's phone would ring if Canada got invaded.

While Grantt is at times offensive, I think he adds something valuable to this forum because he does reflect they way a lot of the world feels about us.
He's been accused on this thread as being on a high horse, however that's a characteristic typical of many of us Americans. Out's repetitive "what country has done more good?" question is an example of that.

I've seen that comment made once here. And I'm not one to go around tooting America's horn about the "good" things we've done. But when these anti-americans that believe that all the worlds problems today are a result of the United States?? Give me a break! Take responsiblitly for your own actions. I live in a country where the fricking president 10 years ago stole 250 million dollars from the gov't and they didn't even convict him of a crime. He resigned. And yet some here blame all of Brazil's woes on the U.S. Poor, poor Brazil. If you don't like the way things are done in your country get off your ass and do something about it! Be willing to die for what you believe in if you feel that strongly! Just like Americans have done throughout our history!
Your right about one thing, Grantt does reflect the way many feel about the U.S. throughout the world, I know from first hand experience. I've been the brunt of predjudice and discrimination here in Brazil simply because I'm an American. Is that right? Once again, I think we need to stop being so political and just resolve our controversies and altercations with all means at our disposal. The next Iraq?? Iran or Syria?? Don't put one American on the ground, NOT ONE! We can solve that shit real quick without the risk of one american life. What can people like Grantt say about that??? Nothing worse than he's already saying. People say how we're the villans of the world?? OK, let's justify their horseshit rhetoric.

"But when these anti-americans that believe that all the worlds problems today are a result of the United States?? Give me a break!"
I agree with you on this. However I also think that we as Americans aren't very good at admitting when we're wrong.
"I live in a country where the fricking president 10 years ago stole 250 million dollars from the gov't and they didn't even convict him of a crime. He resigned."
I know what you mean on corrupt Latin American and South American governments that goes way back. On the other hand Reagan got away with his little party in Nicaragua too.
"I've been the brunt of predjudice and discrimination here in Brazil simply because I'm an American. Is that right?"
I can sympathize here too. I had the same type of experiences in Central America. When it happens it makes me think about the way immigrants get treated in the States.
I think in general and largely we don't understand the world and the world doesn't understand us and nobody's making any real effort to change that.

I try not to generalize, especially when speaking about 270,000,000 people.

Hope you're not trying to equate the situation with the sandinistas and the blatant stealing the politicians of these 3rd world countries do regularly while half their population are literally starving to death.

What was it that Muhammad Ali said after his trip to Africa for the "Rumble in the Jungle?"
"Thank god they took my ancestors on that boat!" There's discrimination everywhere. I've got a good buddy who's family came to the states from Viet Nam fleeing the communist takeover. Landed in NY without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. Forbes magazine called his old man about 6 months ago for an interview.......Only in America!
I'll summise by saying this. I know for a fact my government does things that aren't right, all govt's do. I don't blindly defend my country. But when others attack it just to have a "whipping boy" that's truly not taking responsibility. America is a relatively new country when compared to countries in Europe. No one gave us anything when we had our revolution. We fought for our freedom and our rights. The U.S. is the most powerful and richest country in the world because of sacrifice. It's about time that some of these countries started taking their problems in their own hands. These latin american countries beg the IMF for loans, their politicians steal half the money and then they get pissed off at the IMF and America because their economy is the way it is because they can't repay the loans. The Brazilians in 1990 should have hung Fernando Collar from the tallest building in Sao Paulo when he stole their money then fled the county. And where did he flee to?? That's right, the good ole U.S.A. I called the State Dept. in Washington when I learned of this and asked them, "why is this criminal allowed to live in my country?" Their answer, "because he was never convicted of a crime!" Can't argue with that.
I try to take everyone at face value. I don't think all Brazilians are thieves because their politicians are. There's no perfect country or form of government. I truly believe that America has and does more good than bad. We're not perfect and our gov't isn't, and I don't think anyone claims that we are. I have a brazilian friend that says, "it's bad with America but it's even worse without them".
