Well ...the main point is if Bush wasn't as EAGER to go to war, (OMG WMD'S are coming ! we gotta act now ! ) then the US would'nt be in the mess that it currently is in . And now we see the US going back to the UN with its tail inbetween their legs and ask for the assistance that we not so long ago declined . ....and about the US giving to the world's poor , yes they do , but they don't do so in GOOD WILL , but rather when there is SOMETHING IN IT FOR THEM . think about it .
