If the U.S is so interested in helping stabilize the world?

Question

spreading democracy, and helping those in need, why aren't we in Africa instead of the Middle East.

Answer 1

Because white, male, ole geezers, rich, and very power hungy don't deal with blacks....that's the bottom line, the truth---and people hate to hear the truth....

Answer 2

Your question makes me ask:  Why are you not in Africa?  If people there need help, go and help them.

If you don't want to help people in the Middle East, don't.

Answer 3

I am going to give you the truest answer:

Because if Africa fell off the map today...it would do America no real harm...and if the middle east did...my God it would!

Pay attention to where we are at militarily in the world..we are not interested in spreading democracy so other people can enjoy it as much as we are interested in spreading us a a democratic people to run more options elsewhere in the world...

Iraq is a military dream for american troops once stabilized...we can fly from there and hit anyone...no longer having to hug walls and borders of countries not wanting us around....but they won't let it happen yet....
