I know that. But, what I was saying was that your government wouldnt want to ask for help, would they? |
We've asked for help alot. Odds are the US wouldn't even be here had we not asked the French for help. And more recently, in Somalia, the US needed, and asked for, help. I think the only reason President Bush turned down help after 9/11 is because that attack was designed to make us go into chaos, to make us feel weak and vulnerable. One of the best things he could do was let the US take care of itself, take care of our own, and we did. *I am not talking about the war w/ that statement, I am talking about dealing w/ 9/11, and paying to clean up the sites, and restore the Pentagon, stuff like that.
Some Saudi prince offered Guiliani about a million dollars, and at first it was accepted, then the guy started telling the US what they should do, i.e., in Saudi Arabia, Iran, etc..... Needless to say, his money was quickly returned to him. |
so as you see the us gives help only when asked and asks for help when we need it

I didn't say always. No government is perfect. But there is one thing that I am absolutely sure of; I would rather live here in the USA than anywhere else on this earth.
I am well aware that there are flaws in our government, but I am also aware that the people can change it, peacefully, at any time. All they have to do is stand up, united.

Some of us fall by the wayside
And some of us soar to the stars
And some of us sail through our troubles
And some have to live with our scars
