What in the hell did any of that mean? What did the USA do to Osama bin Laden except become the victim of his plots on at least three different occasions? The USA is not a "victim of its past deeds" it's simply the target of all the hate-filled wackos in the world because the USA is the ONLY country of significance economically and militarily left in the world.\n\nWhen the USSR still existed the same fringe groups that hate the USA hated the USSR just the same.\n\nWhat the USA should do is STOP giving money to the United Nations and stop giving money directly to other countries and see how well they all do without the generous assistance given to them by the American people every year.\n\nBy the way, did you notice how much assistance and money the Taliban and Al Quada gave to the Muslim victims of the hurricane in SE Asia last year - ZERO. And yet the USA was the first on the scene trying to help.

They don't support but comply to country specific laws. To a certain extent it can be harmless, but when it is in clear violation of basic human rights then it becomes contentious.

No. There was a Shimla Convention in 1914 by which Tawang area and some other areas of Tibet were ceded to British India, but China which forcibly annexed Tibet does not accept this Convention. That way Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh,Pakistan  and Afghanistan were parts of India at one time of history. Would India be justified by claiming these territories as her integral part. China has to realistic. It should rather leave the Tibetan territory to the Tibetans and stop renewing non-existent issues and disturb the international peace. India should never concede to the pressure tactics of China.

No I think its the other way around....India has been for the most part good to the united states... Pakistan is just friends... we do alot of traiding with.

No. It is this involvement that keeps creating reactions over there against us.\nThe truth is that the US-backed central government has made all sorts of deals with local warlords and provinical warlords and feudal drug lords because it doesnt have enough power. As a result, we are supporting a bunch of criminals/former Taliban by propping up the Afghan regimes.\n\nSince the defeat of the Taliban all these warlords have become 'legitimate' politicians and are resuming the export of opium and other drugs. That is the order Western countries are maintaining.

I think that there have to be certain punitive measures in place. I definitely dont like the idea o any one shaking the hands on one side and stabbing your back on another side. Nothing against the players, but if some proof exists that Pakistan sponsors terrorism, then it would be justified.

Bush has said the US will defend Taiwan.  The problem is, there are so many Chinese in mainland China ... they would overwhelm us in a conventional war.

We could, but we need to worry about Russia & China. Would Russia and China, both member of U.N. Security Concil, stand back and do nothing?  North Korea is like their little brother.

Pakistan can never really become an ally. After 9-11 we said we would crack down on terrorism worldwide. Shortly thereafter a militant group with Pakistani support bombed the legislative  building in India (not sure why I cant think of its name ><). We demanded that Pakistan bring justice to those responsible because we knew what terrorist group that was and we also knew that they were trained under the Pakistani military. Pakistani dictator (also name alludes me and i dont feel like looking it up) arrested 200 of the terrorists but less than 2 months later when the international community had bigger things to worrry about ie middle east vs usa they let every single one of them go. In short Pakistan supports terrorism and we can only deal with that contry by temporarily intimidating them into helping us . When left to their own means they will work against us. Also, India is a good ally for us (as bush decided when he gave them our nuclear weapons blueprints very recently) for exactly the reasons another answer'er stated because they help keep china in check. India and Pakistan are at each others throats and have been since the Islamic world (formor pakistani boundaries-not exactly the same pakistan of todays borders but the pakistan of today could be considered the core of the old which) descimated India in a series of violent wars trying to convert all of india to islam.

NO! We must continue to assist Israel and if we are going to abandon anyone it should be the radical Asian and Arab countries that hate us.

Seeing as how I agree with every point you've stated............\n\nI believe we should assist those countries that are willing to support our nation's goal of world stability.

~Guilty of what?  Losing his country to an imperialist invasion force?  If the US is justified in invading Iraq, then China has every right to invade the US over our racial or economic policies.   Only unlike Iraq, the US does have stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction:  neuclear, chemical and biological and has proven a willingness to use them..\nNot liking the way a nation is run does not justify declaring war on it.  And if harboring terrorists is justification for invasion, Iran had every right to attact the US when we gave assylum to the Shah, Castro when we harbor his enemies, Vietnam when we brought Thieu over, ....... the list goes on and on and on and on.\nOf course, the Iraqi people support our presence there.  That's why the troops are already home and we aren't flying bodybags back.  And the Afghans wanted us to invade them too.  The same ones that invited the Soviets in, back when we were training and arming Osama Bin Ladin.\nIf you want justice, why not start at home and give Florida back to the Seminoles, the plains to the Lakota, or pay repartions to the Cherokee for giving them blankets infested with smallpox.  Oops.  Unamerican thoughts, those were.  Mea Culpa.

Ok. Yes We would get involved with international support or not. The fact is we have invested way to much time money into Taiwan to let it change Gov'ts. The US however keeps an open opinion on the situation so not to effect the way china feels. Though taiwan is a thorn in china's side and they want it back they will not risk loosing all they have including there recent economic gains in the international community in order to take back such a minimal benefit. If you really want more of an answer just message me back!

Yes, and Us supported Pinochet in Chile, Batista in Cuba and many more bloody dictators, as show the link below.  Do you know that US give Israelis arms to kill palestinans? USA are not so friendly.

China also would like to help but can't because of its close proximity to India who might be suspicious... you're on you own sorry!

America is clearly seeing its own interests and is supporting a country who will be able to help them in future. And clearly  this country is india and not pakistan since india is stronger economically, technologically, militarily and is becoming an important global player. This has nothing to to do with peace in the Indian subcontinent or with ethics.
