Have you ever gave a starving kid water and food? Didn't think so.

yes i have actually. and i didnt need to carry a m16 while i was handing out water and food to starving kids... none the less, we too were in a war zone. and it was very disturbing. we went to sudan to help free slaves. not many people realize that slavery still exists today. the only thing we were "armed" with was our Bibles and the Word of Jesus Christ... all the while you guys are in iraq fighting what was once the 'war on terror' and has now become the event to give iraq "democracy".. but really we all know its blood for oil..

Mud slide in the Philippines, the Marines were there a day later.

where was the military during the Rwanda genocides? oh thats right, rwanda doesnt have anything of value to trade for us to protect them unlike kuwait did when we first went to war with iraq. forget about freeing slaves and helping people survive... what's gonna make our pockets bigger?

what about the sudan civil war that lasted 15+ years? what about the current wars currently going on there now? we can't stop mother nature from happening, but can we save a few million kids from another genocide? saddam was hung for the genocides he did in the 80s, but theres still wars going on now in africa.

he who controls the oil controls the world. oil/petrol isnt just used for cars. its used in many things, so even if we convert to hybrid, electric, etc kinds of cars, it wouldnt matter, because we still need petrol. it's used in heating homes, used to manufacture products like synthetic fiber, synthetic rubber, perfumes, fertilizers, explosives, dyes, etc... it also has many other uses as well.

wow im getting off topic. i'll stop. sorry for the rant.
