Think of it this way, (two smaller senarios)
There are 3 boys on the playground, 1 big one and two smaller children, Now lets say the 2 small children have a history of fighting arguing and such, now, if the bigger kid sees these two kids fighting, should he not intervene and stop these children, that is the same reason why the USA ,in some peoples eyes, should help smaller countries.
another scenerio, The police will arrest people with guns if they do not have a permet, although the police themselves have guns, so do you mean by what you are saying technically it is wrong for police to have guns? or is it appropriate for some kind of authority to have something to controll the things it is trying to protect, while protecting itself at the same time.
if you disagree show me where i am wrong i am open to suggestions to better myself.

we are still in Afghanistan, and i don't feel like going into depth about iraq at the moment but i can assure you there are valid reasons to go into war, bush is an intelligent man people need to look past his dialect, he is human but i doubt gore or kerry, or any one of you could have done a better job at handling the disasters in his term.

Not everything that is happening Bush can control, such as the gas prices. He has no control over it. It is the gas companies. They have to raise the gas prices because the ones they get the gas from (in foreign countries), raise the prices. In reality, gas stations only get a couple of cents per gallon sold.

People just like to complain, in a few years they will be crying about the next president
