King Cobra, speed reading and hasty replies don't go well together. Sorry.
I served 7 years in the US Military. My kids are in Italy and Texas and are also disillusioned with US politics. I spent my career working as an exaptriate in several foreign countries.
Everywhere I've been during the past 25 years as an expat and observer has shown me examples of how provincial US politicians are and how short sighted they are when it comes to planning for the future of our grand children.
And now with the Iraq thing the powers at large are trying to export USA style democracy (they say) to a part of the world which has never operated under that kind of system--and is unlikely to adopt it any time soon.
The US had no business going there as an independant policeman without a mandate. I don't think this has much to do with helping poor nations--this is politics.
