You are extremely naive. Do you have any idea how many wars and conflicts are going on that do not involve the US? Take a look at this wikipedia list of wars and you'll see that very few have US involvement. en.wikipedia.org... Also, speaking of Iraq and Afghanistan, these are COALITION operations, which means that many countries have been involved since day 1.
Anyone who believes that the US is the only reason that there isn't world peace is completely delusional.
When you are born into this world you enter a freak show. When you are born in America you get front row seats.
"Yes, America is in a HORRIBLE state. Many of the things you say are real but know that what happens here in the US is a warning to people in every nation. The globalists intend to do the very same things to you.
So, keep making fun of us if you like, it's all well-deserved. But prepare yourself for what's coming to your nation, you will see it's not so easy to change things once they have gotten out of hand.

The Knights Templar used the system I've just described when they created the foundations of the modern banking network back in the 12th and 13th centuries and this clearly connected with the Venetian network of the Black Nobility operating at the same time. The world financial manipulation is today coordinated by 'central banks' in each country which appear to be working independently, but are in fact working together to a common end. The Bank of England, chartered by the Black Nobility's William of Orange, has been the spider at the centre of this web and so, too, since the 1930s, has the Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland. Akin to the Bank of England, the central banks were chartered by the descendants of the banking families of Genoa and Venice.

By posting your email your not any different than the subject of the criticisms. How avant garde.
How different is it from posting random emails from other users against Obama, Fed reserve etc every other week which is constantly applauded on ATS?

The U.S. government was reluctant to involve itself in the "local conflict" in Rwanda and refused to label the killings as "genocide", a decision which then-president Bill Clinton later came to regret in a Frontline television interview. In the interview, five years after the genocide, Clinton stated that he believes if he had sent 5,000 U.S. peacekeepers, more than 500,000 lives could have been saved.
The new Rwandan government, led by interim President Théodore Sindikubwabo, worked to minimize international criticism. Rwanda at that time had a seat on the Security Council and its ambassador argued that the claims of genocide were exaggerated and that the government was doing all that it could to stop it.
The UN conceded that "acts of genocide may have been committed" on May 17, 1994. By that time, the Red Cross estimated that 500,000 Rwandans had been killed. The UN agreed to send 5,500 troops, mostly from African countries, to Rwanda. This was the original number of troops requested by General Dallaire before the killing escalated. The UN also requested 50 armoured personnel carriers from the United States, but for the transport alone they were charged $6.5 million (U.S.) by the U.S. Army. Deployment of these forces was delayed due to arguments over their cost and other factors.

i agree that there's really no logical excuse for allowing people to starve to death with all the money and knowledge most modernized nations have, but i also would point out to you that some of the countries in the middle east and africa, are some of the wealthiest (and poorest) per capita, and they aren't helping either. some of the oil rich nations have enough money that every citizen drives 40,000 dollar cars. the caliphates, sultanates, and etc, are so bloody rich, they probably have more money than wall street, they just don't have to tell anybody what they got and what they do with what they got.
the op is a hit piece. a bigotted, woman hating, obseity hating, white people hating, religion hating, etc hating, piece of rubbish

oil is not the real prize.
For the four oil giants, the new agreements will bring them back to a country where they have a long history. BP, Exxon Mobil, Total and Shell were co-owners of a British, American and French consortium that kept Iraq's oil reserves in foreign control for more than 40 years.
The Iraq Petroleum Company (once the Turkish Petroleum Company) was formed in 1912 by oil companies eager to grab the resources in parts of the Ottoman Empire.
The company was formalised in 1928 and each of the four shareholders had a 23.75 per cent share of all the oil produced. The final 5 per cent went to Calouste Gulbenkian, an Armenian businessman.
In 1931, an agreement was signed with Iraq, giving the company complete control over the oi fields of Mosul in return for annual royalties. After Saddam's coup in 1958, nationalisation came in 1972.
Iraq
1921-1922:
In order to weaken Arab nationalism, Britain blocks Iraqi access to the Persian Gulf by severing the territorial entity, "Kuwait" from the rest of Iraq.
1932:
Britain gives Iraq nominal independence. Kuwait remains a British protectorate.
1951:
Iran's Mossadegh government nationalises holdings of Ango-Iranian Company (now BP).
1953:
CIA helps overthrow Mossadegh in Iran. Shah installed and hands over 40% ownership of oil fields to US companies. SAVAK brutal state police - formed with US backing and with the help of Norman Schwarzkopf Sr.
