think about how many have died from hunger,poverty and war in third world countries because america stole their natural resources and gave weapons ans money to butchers like saddam hussain just as long as it could have control of the worlds oil. Take saudi arabia for example they dont mind turning their backs on the human rights offences from this nation because theirs too big a profit in it for them.

oh yeah, and then they turn around and say they are helping out eg. iraq even though most of the mess was caused by them in the first place. wouldn't it be nice if all the countries esp ones like mine (australia) would withdraw their troops, cut ties with the US so we're not caught up in this a$% licking relationship begging for their scraps and bowing down in gratitude...

Poor spelling aside, your basic assumption is somewhat right, but not completely right as it is too simple to merely blame the "greed of America" for all the world's ills...even if the US is responsible for many of them. A more comprehensive definition of what's wrong in the world, specifically regarding the US's contribution to global misery, would be two-fold, namely:
1. A military-industrial complex that only minimally supports democratic institutions and the "will of the people" as expressed every election. In other words, we're actually living in a corporate controlled state where the will of big business is what determines what our leaders will consider as "best for our national interests." Through entertainment, news, and other forms of media manipulation, the general public is told what to believe...and that's why so many people consistently vote to make the rich richer even as they themselves grow poorer.
2. The ideology of free market fundamentalism: in other words, the irrational belief that the marketplace, if left completely unrestrained, will find the solutions to every single crisis and problem that humans face. This ridiculous notion is the single most critical obstacle that the US and other nations have to overcome if they are to find real answers to address all the ills we now face.

If 10% of the average $907 that Americans spent on Christmas gifts went to children in need, 42 million children could be helped for an entire year according to statistics provided to me during an interview with World Vision.
This year, I conducted an experiment, and asked for donations to World Vision and Heifer.org instead of Christmas gifts. Many folks simply chose to give me gifts anyway, but several did make donations instead, resulting in $137 going to these charities.
I also have a website where I sell art to support these two fine charitable organizations. The next time you need art for your office, church, or home walls, please consider my website. My personal favorite of my own work is Sunset over Florence12. There are two other artists/photographers who are participating on my website with donated works.

...weeeelllll...... it's kinda up there with the biggies, but the slave trade, the Great Leap Forward, the Gulags and Auschwitz still beat it.
Anyway, the "greed of America" isn't so much an American thing as part of the dark side of human nature.
Americans consume more than anyone else for the same reason that dogs lick their testicles. It's because they can.

Are you stupid?
Do you know how many billions of dollars we flush down in Africa, only to see it get worse every year?
Who is the first to help with disaster aid, even with countries who are considered enemies?
You should get your facts straight before you go off and type your garbage. I wonder what public school produced your warped mind. Or are you another foreigner bragging about your cesspool of a country while on American soil?

The Romans and Nazis were bad-America is worse as they have a lot of the world convinced they're good.

Sorry,but there are no truths or facts in your question.
It is merely a misinformed rant about things you obviously dont understand.
So on this basis, it isnt worth the time to educate you on these issues.
Perhaps you should just reserve your questions to topics such as reality TV.
Like the golliwog!
