Everyday,the news from around the world doesn't seem to an but bad. Earthquakes, tsunamis, middle east upheaval. Whatever it it, there is always a "poll" that suggest how Americans feel about.
The more recent polls, show that most Americans do not want to be involved in another war in the middle east, in another country where "death to America" shouts are always heard. Libyan rebels are currently asking for help form America, the same people who danced in the streets on 9-11.
This is the home country of the Lockerbie bomber who when released from a Scotland prison and upon his return to Libya he was greeted like a war hero. Now, I understand why as an American I do not want to risk more of our country's blood and treasure to another country that HATES America and do not appreciate America's help. Example,Iraq is now demanding payment from us now, for damages to their country. This after thousands of Americans have given their lives for Iraq and we have poured billions of dollars into Iraq.
Perhaps, it is time for America to take care of our own first. Seal our borders, work on our economic growth, get our debt under control, first. You can't take of other countries problems if your own country can't take of it's problems first.
We are after all the greatestcountry in the world and I don't what the answer is but I think we need to start thinking it and figure one that works .

We are the greatest country in the world because of our dynamic role in the world. Yes, we need to take care of our own - we need to find a way to work together and resolves the years of issues that have been dragging behind us.
However, we are the country that we are because we are designed to care about others and do the right thing. America was founded on the idea that all men (and women) are created equal no matter where you live.
