It saddens me to see that so many people get hung up on the spelling and grammer of a comment rather than the message, especially when the americans have bastardised the english language with their pronounciations and spellings.
One can understand the American government getting involved in areas of the world where there are American interests. Despite America's faults (and no I am not an American, I am from New Zealand), they are loyal to each other and patriotic to their country. What I cannot understand is them getting involved in issues half way around the world, without justification and without a request for help.
New Zealand classes America as an ally, and for that I am grateful, we are too small to do much on our own, but it is the choice of our government to maintain that relationship. America needs to defend their interests and help their friends and let the rest of the world do it their own way. Yes, the American government system has its advantages, but I hate it when Americans try and push that model on everybody else. Look at a country like Saudi Arabia - no taxes, government funded schools and hospitals, relative freedom for all people, no obesity issues, and not an election in sight.
