Rudyard Kipling was once ascribed as saying -It is the 'white man's burden' to rule and care for the people of the world-
Do you believe that Americans have now created there own burden by doing the same as the european imperialists of the past ?

Wow, A thinking man, quite dangerous.
Fundamentally, there are only two ways of coordinating the activities of millions. One is central direction involving the use of coercion – the technique of the army and of the modern totalitarian state. The other is voluntary cooperation of individuals – the technique of the marketplace. We seem to prefer the former when it comes to these matters. GREAT QUESTION

America is doing it`s level best to gain control over all of the earths resources needed to sustain human life. If it had any real humanitarian intensions things could be a hell of a lot easier for the desperate people in this world. America is part of the problem not part of the cure.

I believe that all parties involved contribute to that. America, and the countries she has to bail out in time of financial need.
