You forgot, William, that the US is directly responsible for the welfare of the rest of the world. Don't you realize that their natural resources like oil aren't enough to provide for them? Don't you realize that they don't know enough to stop killing each other? Don't you realize that they don't know how to stop having sex to prevent AIDS? This is evolution at its finest. ;-)
