Still doesn't disprove his premise, Steve.
He might be from the US.
The world hasn't "asked" us to help in a while now. When they asked during WW2, we declined, until we had our own interests brought to the forefront by Japan.
If the world asked for us to intervene in Vietnam - well, we came up a bit short there then.
If the OP is a Roosky, how odd that he shares his views with the other police state, Russia - the country we've spent 3 decades in a Cold War with. You can characterize him as ungrateful, but I think that ship has sailed anyways.
We have helped a lot of countries - often times by splitting them up, like parents dealing with feuding children by drawing lines on the floor of their room. It fixes things temporarily, but does little in long-term solutions (see: Eastern Europe, 1993-today).
So, basing your position on a superior stance that went out-of-style and out-of-reason in 1950 doesn't refute the claims made by the OP.
Maybe the OP is from a tryanny-ravaged, genocide-committing African country. Then he really wouldn't have any problem with the US interceding too much.
I dunno, I'm just a simple American guy who likes to look at things objectively and likes to adhere to un-biased reasoning when it comes to the improprieties of our foreign relations.
I also am an American Legion Award winner. So please don't place me in any of your fictitious foreign countries either.
