Medical Supply

Simon Templar asked:


I’ve read about 50 million questions here about why this country or that country hates America. So what? Other countries have never loved us — except, of course, when we were smashing the dictators and madmen that Europe seems to embrace with maddening regularity.

Yeah, we *do* meddle in affairs overseas, because when we don’t, we wind up getting pulled into even *bigger* messes (like World Wars I and II)). But with all the hate coming from around the world, I’m beginning to think that we should have never involved ourselves in WWII — we should have let the Nazis and the Communists destroy Europe and then Asia, fortified ourselves over here, and let the rest of the world go to pot. In fact, I’m sort of getting to the point where I’d like to see us call all troops home, cut off all foreign aid and medical supplies, call in all debts, roll up the welcome mat, and stay home for the next century and let France and Canada pay the bills for a while.
I’m becoming more and more isolationist. We should stop sending other countries ANYTHING — stop meddling COMPLETELY — and send NOTHING overseas — no food, no medicine, no technology, no jobs, no foreign aid, NOTHING. Let’s keep it all here at home and build our own stockpiles of resources and supplies and to Hell with the rest of the world.
xemicangirl: Well, World War II wasn’t OUR mess — it was the result of hundreds of years of European greed, ignorance, brutality and bigotry. We could have just let them drown in it, and I’m beginning to think we should have.
