Actually we've been solidly criticized by other nations in the past for being slow and reluctant to offer up our assistance. World War 2 being an example. We waited quite a long while, and didnt "offer" to help until we were directly attacked.

Then, alternately, with wars like the Vietnam war, we helped and we were criticized internally and externally for being where we didn't belong...

Its a complex issue for any nation. And I'm not ready to second guess a country that decides not to fight. They should fight for THEIR reasons, not for our reasons.
IMHO.

Well my point is, many years before we did this for other countries. We sent solders to help them, gave money, weapens, and many of americans got killed. So why wont they help us after we went through with it for them? Dont they owe us for their Freedom they have?
