I think the French were rather benevolent to us a couple hundred plus years ago. Other nations have helped us in a variety of ways. But for one moment, forget to a point borders, political affiliations, race and religion. Virtually all humans want essentially the same things. They want shelter from the elements, potable water, food, a level of security and the hope that their offspring will have a better life than they did with more options and better "everything" (medical care, education, safe housing, streets, food etc).
I would point out that "some" people are of the opinion that at one point in history the oceans did not separate land masses and people. :)
I know nothing of your brother and if I am understanding correctly he may no longer be with us due to a war? I am truly sorry no matter the circumstances.
Still, back to my earleir point, many a Frenchman died so that your ancestors, their offpring and all the way down to you could live the life you do now (obviously other reasons were involved as well).
Not quite sure where you are coming up with issues realated to our military and Saudi women driving cars. ?

Any person, male, female, child, old, young, any race or culture anywhere, that is a slave, deprived of life, liberty and justice, raped, beaten, murdered is everyones concern everywhere. Surely I don't need to refer an educated person like your self to:

We don't chose our place of birth, our skin color, or language or culture. We DO chose what actions we take to help those that are born in more unfortunate circumstances than ours. We can either choose to speak out and try to help, or we can choose to do nothing and let them suffer. I choose the former.
Vanessa, if that's the case *you* pick up a rifle and you go play Don Quixote.
When are U.S. Citizens going to benefit from such benevolence from overseas?
I think God made the Oceans to keep us seperate and that's fine with me, great plan!
The U.S. Military is for *our* protection, they're not "peace keepers" or roving social workers.
You'll have *no problems* finding foreigners who want to get us involved in *their* problems!

Please!!!
