thank you dr. greer. anywhere on this planet that a disaster happens,
you'll find the u.s. is right there with help.

  we are a capitalistic ecconomy. the very basic assumption of the ecconomic
model is that people will do what is in their best interest.

  if the u.s. ecconmy sneezes, many other ecconomies in the world catch
pneumonia. i'll leave you all to ponder what i mean by this statement.

You might also say that this is why more terrorists do not target us.
Yes, we
are selfish, but how much else do we do for the world.

How did Japan, Germany and UK get rebuilt after WWII?

We are not totally selfish and I am rarely ashamed to be a U.S. citizen.
That
global village poppy-cock maybe politicaly correct, but not very
pragmatic.
