one of the reasons countries ask for our help is because we ARE the big kid on the block, like it or not. this country has grown over the last 200 years to something very large and powerfull, that is just a fact.

I know. And I do appreciate that the US will probably help my little country if it needed it. That is very cool.

But you guys are so heavy handed, to the point of being unpleasant, about it. Mark (expathk) put it so much better than me.

(edit) Yes, I would rather have unpleasant help than no help at all. But pleasant help is still better and achievable, IMO.
