A whole host of other countries in .eu right after world war 2. However I don't think any country is obligated to go along with another countries foreign policy because they've helped in the past. |

Who's saying that the US is "helping" the iraqis? They're going to bomb their country back to the stone age, and fight house-to-house battles all through the country...
How can you help a country by destroying it? oh, by opening up a few McDonalds stores once you leave, no doubt. Give me a break.
Lets look at the situation in the balkans. Slobodan Milosevic's regime had been removed, to the joy of many people, but do you think that there is ANY pro-US sentiments in the area?? Hell no... Most people were a lot better off under Milosevic's regime (when they actually had jobs/food) than they are now... where their factories have been bombed, and agricultural soil polluted by depleted uraniam munitions..
The US helps NO ONE but itself. "Rebuilding" a country after a war is just a public relations campaign to gain popular support for their bull wars. :whip: |

Well please explain to me how the US was "helped" by the war in the Balkans??? I suppose we gathered up allll the serbian oil and claimed it for ourselves :rolleyes: . You want one example of how the Serbs were "helped" regardless of whether they show appreciation or not? How about the ascension of Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic to power who adopted pro-Democratic views, civil liberties, and brought war criminals to justice. Explain how he could have EVER came to power under any other circumstance??? But I guess you're right ... the Serbs were a LOT better off under Milosevic's regime of racial genocide haha good example. |

| yeah the serbs might have been better off but what about the albanians in kosovo?? they would be all dead. I wish milosovic was lined up by a firing squad the hateful racist bastard. |

| I must agree that the US helped rebuild a lot of countries after the WW2, and it is a good thing it did it. But since then, not much has been done regarding rebuilding of countries, while a lot has been done on the combatting some of them. The US decided it doesn't need to rebuild countries after the war anymore, and that's where most of the anti-american sentiment comes from. |

a better question to ask is how many countries has america destroyed or invaded.
Either militarily - Vietnam, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama
or economically - any country that foolishly adopted IMF structural adjustment policies.
America has NOTHING to be proud about recently |

whenever you see threads like this one, the best thing to do is to ignore it. if enough people do that, maybe the iq level in the political forum will rise a bit... |

| Speaking of IQ, did you guys know that the US is currently rebuilding Afganistan, and doing a pretty good job there too. |
