The Tibetan Government in exile has been requesting help from the US and other Western countries since it was first invaded and raped by the Chinese. There is an illegal war, with trade embargo against Iraq, yet the US is filled with Chinese made goods? How so?

Your good question is partially quoting a Bush Lie.
In many of Bush's speech's he mentions Democracy in Iraq, as your question implies. Sounds good, but no attempt was ever made to install a true Democracy.
This is what history shows:
The first paragraph of the present Iraq Constitution reads:
This shall be a Muslin Government, and the Koran is the rule of the land. Obviously this is a Theocracy, and not a Democracy.
Quite possibly a trillion dollars will be spent in Iraq, and no one what is going to happen next, and what to do about it. What happened in Tibet is tragic. However, China is not a small helpless little country. They are too powerful to rush in to a great war.

CBS/AP) The U.S. military is putting already-strained troops at greater risk of mental health problems because of repeated deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, a Defense Department panel says in warning of an overburdened health system. The Defense Department's Task Force on Mental Health chaired by Navy Surgeon General Donald Arthur, issued an urgent warning, saying that more than one-third of troops and veterans currently suffer from problems such as traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. With an escalating Iraq war, those numbers are expected to worsen, and current staffing and money for military health care will not be able to meet the need, the group said in a preliminary report released Thursday. Who can ignore this one?

Not all of us in the US want our country to be there. We have a President who thinks he is untouchable and doesn't have to answer to the people who put him in office. Right know the news people keep talking President Bush being worried about his legacy. I think its already been set in stone. He cares for any other country BUT the one he is supposed to be in charge of! Please don't lump us all into a bunch with George, most of us are not as ignorant as our fearless leader.

If you saw 50 big guys beating-up one, would you go in and help him?
No. The US can't attack a vast country like China can it? Get real.
And Chinese goods are very cheap so big business buys from them and sells at a huge profit. MONEY RULES! OK?

The US will only help a country if there is something in it for them. It is disgusting but true
