to be fair, America had very little to do with the causes of WW2
our isolation nutured our entrance. if we had outright entered the war and sent troops during the "sitzkrieg" nearly 7 months of sitting around mind you... Europe would not have fallen. If we had truely stood our ground at the genieva convention and had signed the league of nations pact and had not been swayed been the public isolationist ideals after WWI none of WW2 would have happened.

Then why hasn't France, Germany, Italy, Russia or any other countries stepped up to stop the genocide in Darphur? Why didn't any European nation step in to stop the genocide in the Balkins? America, which was half a world away, was the one who took the initiative and did most of the work to stop the killing. And please don't tell me it has something to do with oils or resources cause THEY HAVE NOTHING the U.S. wanted. There was a genocide; the U.N. couldn't stop it; the U.S. did. .If the world can manage, then why didn't the world stop the Balkin's genocide? Darphur is suffering from one group trying to kill another group; if the world can manage without the U.S. (or Great Britain), why haven't they? Who else is going to step up? Names of nations?

OMG Clinton wanted to do more in the Balkins, but because of Monica he didn't want to look like he was taking attention away from that case, its the other way around dude. 😛

True, but you think the entire U.S. congress both Democrats and REPUBLICANS approved the war to benefit Clinton? As for the UN cleaning up, what's the matter with that? If they couldn't stop the genocide, then atleast clean up. It was mostly American troops and American casualties - we should bare the burden of clean up too? Hell, America cleaned up after WWII, cost us billions - it was called "THE MARSHALL PLAN," ever of it.

😐 genicide is something that isn't just wanting to kill eachother, its exterminating an entire race due to hate... the people molosovich were killing could not stand alone and fight... they tried but the ex-soviet block government was too strong and well equiped to resist.

❌ before the time bomb we had a chance. Germany had an army of 30,000 at the end of WWI and hitler built the army he made in a span of 7 years. The europeans stood and watched as they rebuilt.
pr1983i know all about the marshall plan, but it shows immense ignorance to not want to clean up your own mess
???What are you talking about? Has Europe or Asia repaid all the cost of the Marshall Plan? So America didn't clean up, but how is preventing genocide a "mess." Does the UN have a problem with cleaning up what America tried to stop, 'cause it sure as hell wasn't the UN who stopped the genocide. I guess American troop casualties & war cost doesn't equal the clean effort the UN had to do, huh?
I know what you wrote. Again, America stopped the genocide that the UN didn't, atleast the UN should clean up the mess since they US did most of the work of the war.
the american airforce bombed the shit out of the place killing too many civilians, leaving them homeless, then expecting the u.n. to repair the costs.
and raven, most peacekeepers are unarmed, the american government don't have as big a budget in the u.n., they do in N.A.T.O, there is a difference.
😑 i don't know... the only explanation i can think of towards that is that they are not part of the EU and are the most diverse and for the past nearly 100 years have been considered the enemy and every battle plan in europe and the US have been devised to smash them 😑 the Cold Wars woulds run deep i guess ... 😬
