But let's look at some of the greatest catastrophes in human history.
The Great Fire of London in 1666?
The Bhola Hurricane of 1970?
The 1960 Chile Earthquake?
The Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004?
Sorry, Americans may have been killed in these events, but Americans didn't cause them.
Are you talking about war?
WWI? Not started by Americans
WWII? Not started by Americans
The Korean War? Not started by Americans
Vietnam? Not started by Americans
So really, enough is enough. It is an opinion and a misguided one.

Ok, I should have said "non-environmental catastrophes caused by humans". That's what I meant.
And yes, the US is always involved in wars that don't concern them. Look up a timeline of US military operations carried out in the last 30 years.

Now? It's taken what, ten years? George Bush even got reelected for God's sake, that alone speaks for itself.

No! Let the US fix it! Let them invade the country with their troops, that'll surely make everything better ¬¬
Military intervention does not lead to conflict resolution. All the opposite.
