What? You are starting to sound like a college student...LOL.
There are few victims as far as nations go in this. We are all in bed with whom ever we are by choice. The values, and behavior of these so called "third world" people create this wealth disparity with or with us. We are not that powerful. If a U.S. corporation does bad business in the third world, I agree it's bad business....It takes two to tango.
On the whole the U.S. government, while doing it's best to look after what is currently perceived as our best interest internationally, does not usually act in a malicious manner. With the exception of Iraq, and Afghanistan, The U.S. military is in these third world nations by request, their major mission is not direct action, but rather assisting at the behest of the foreign government in their internal defense.
When asked by a foreign government for assistance by our professional military men and women with their internal defense, I would not send you pierce. I do not mean that as a put down, or insult. I don't think you are the best qualified for that job. It does not appear that you have and are fitting yourself to accomplish that job in this world. That's fine. So it is fitting and proper, that we send a professional in the requested area. Because you don't like the current outcome in Iraq, we should pull our much need assistance out of other countries? I don't think so.
