Sometimes it is jealousy.

In the very same forum that I quoted earlier, another student from Afganistan asked Powell why the US had done nothing to help the pright of Afgans prior to Sept. 11. He replied that we'd been active in aid.

But, my point would've been to tell people to stop talking out both sides of their mouths. We get crucified when we go in and create a presence, but if we don't, they complain just the same.

"The US should mind their own business and stop policing the world" or "Why hasn't the US been here to help us when we're hungry or oppressed."

Geez, make up your mind!
