We as Americans, have made more progress in 200 years than the rest of the world has in 2000. It must goad you to think that whenever something happens in the world, the rest of you have to ask yourselves the question, "What is the United States going to do to fix this?"
It's easy to sit from afar and be an armchair critic. I ask you what great contribution has Denmark made to the rest of the world with regards to Freedom and Democracy? Last I checked... there wasn't anything in the History books about Denmark liberating anyone... Or maybe We should talk about how France liberated Europe from the Nazis. Or wait, lets talk about how Germany reunified itself--no wait. They didn't. We did it for them.
I'd like to see how high and mighty the rest of Europe would be if we decided on a Moratorium on Foreign Aid, Loans and purchasing goods and services from the rest of the world. How much would the European economy be worth then? Japan would be out of money in a month.
Your country does next to nothing to ensure the stability of the rest of the world in comparison. In point of fact, the two Greatest conflicts in the history of mankind, started in YOUR neck of the woods. Without any help whatsoever from the United States.
