Why do you people think America is being blamed?
That's what foreigners do. Canadians and Europeans tend to be really bad about it. Probably makes them feel better about the impotence of their own countries.
We shouldn't feel compelled at all, we just need to help what we can, ignore the whining, and stop trying to be everyone's mother.
