I believe the people of the United State are the most caring and generous of any nation on Earth. The people of this country, time and time again, have swung into action to help others around the world from placing our military in harms way to fight tyranny or something so simple as donating a worn blanket to a charity for children.
Americans give more in chartible causes then any other nation on earth, a fact overlooked by the UN and other countries who envy or down-right hatred for the US is overwhelmingly evident.
Even with our world-wide charity it's never enough for the blame America crowd. Politicians constantly have their greedy hands out demanding we give more and more every year, we are forced by these same people to give financially to terrorists (Arafat and his crew as an example. We pledge millions of dollars to the UN to fight the AIDS epidemic in Africa and the UN says it's not enough. Europe screams the US does not give enough around the world, yet most of those very countries wouldn't exist without the sacrafice of American citizens. To this day, let a problem happen anywhere in the world and one question is always raised "What will the US do about it?".
I believe it's time the US received the respect it deserves.
