As far as the little education I had in this country, I only learned on how they helped France and Germany, but Mexico dont come to my mind. Most of my education was outside of this country so... could you please teach me, how did the US help rebuild Mexico!?!
All I know is the Mexican war and that the US took half the mexican land and won the war.... but from there to help them rebuild?!?! Curious to know.

First of all Id like to point out that this discussion isn't about who's country is the best. When someone from Australia went after America for it's actions it isn't very reasonable to just retort with an attack on Australia.

And also there in responce to whomever said that there is proof that Iraq was going to use weapons of mass destruction, I would like to see any proof of that. I have seen no real evidence to show that they even had WMD let alone a plan to use them.

The U.S. has gone into many places and delivered crippling blows with virtually no support afterwards.

Afghanistan: According to Doctors Without Borders, a large non-profit group that delivers medical and humanitarian aid around the world, Afghanistan is currently considered one of the worst places in the world, with only some very extreme places, such as Congo being worse then it. The situation now is much much worse for the people living there then prior to the U.S. attack with no firm hope for the future. There was also a high death toll in the war.

Iraq: Its too soon to say how this will turn out but so far the interem government has done a very bad job. Many civilians have been 'accidently' gunned down by soldiers and the humanitarian situation is very bad.

Chile: The U.S. funded disodent and extremist right wing groups that eventually engaged in a coup de tat overthrowing a democraticly elected socialst leader. During Allende (the leader)'s time in power the standard of living rose exponentially. The United State's idea of rebuilding here was to put General Augusto Pinochet into power. He ended up being one of if not the most horrible dictator in the history of Latin America.

Nicaragua: The CIA funded a contra war that killed a huge number of people and eventually toppled a democraticly elected socialist government. During that government the standard of living had risen exponentially. After this they put in a leader and signed Nicaragua up for IMF reforms that made the poor much much poorer and the rich much richer. The standard of living once again dropped to a horrible low.

Another point is that a lot of 'aid' money gets funneled back. For example the U.S. a couple of years back gave Columbia a bunch of money in aid. But only on the condition they spend that money on buying attack helicoptors from an American company.

To argue that people have done better in places the U.S. have 'rebuilt' is ridiculous. If you look at statistics of most of if not all the places in the thirty years you will get a clear picture of what happens after the U.S. topples a government.

It's also important to look at how the U.S. treats it's own people. 50 million Americans are confined to jails that in many cases don't come close to meeting international human rights standards. People are arbitraly detained with no trial on vague and largelly unfounded concerns they might be a terrorist. Every day you lose more and more of your civil liberties. The amount of violence and gun crime is incredibly high, but the government still does nothing to limit the right to possess guns. Laws are in place that in effect discriminate against people on the basis of social class and race. Up until recently homosexual sex was illegal in several places. People are allowed to virtually starve and recieve no medical care. The gap between rich and poor is exponential and growing at an alarmingly fast rate. I could honestly go on for pages, but I'll leave it at that.

And for the record I am Canadian, but that does not mean that I am supportive of our country or a large amount of it's actions or policies.

i cant believe it. there is so much bullshit on this forum.
so much false talking.
I returned from Afghanistan 3 weeks ago after spending a month there. I also spent a month there last summer.
I can tell you that the situation since last year have become even worse.
the americans are doing very little for afghanistan when it comes to AID. Most NGO's are from Europa such as Red Cross etc.
The only time you see any american in the capital Kabul is when you see heavily armed american soldiers looking scared like fuck in their jeeps. I even saw an american woman enter a souvenire shop with 5 heavily armed soldiers. They are so scared that they even sleep with their guns.
the ISAF force (international security assistance force) which is in Kabul right now is administrated by Germany, Turkey and UK. USA is in no way a part of this peace keeping force.
Turkey is building 3 major roads linking the three largest city Kabul, Kandahar and Herat. USA isn't involved in any roadbuilding projects. Not even any mine clearing projects (most mine clearers are from Denmark, Norway and Sweden).


If you thought USA is participating in rebuilding Afghanistan you are all wrong. USA is only involved in military campaings in Afghanistan. They dont have any intention to rebuild the country. Its not in their interest.

Thanx for me.
