Is the USA right?

The Americans are up to their usual tricks, dictating to the rest of us, by and large they are very nice people. Especially when everything is going there way, but when something upsets them then watch out world. They like to be top dog and woe be tide us if they are not.The oil leakage in the Gulf of Mexico is a case in point, America has probably caused more pollution through out the world than any other Nation. And in nearly every case they have walked away from it. The Union Carbide case in India being a classical example, There are numerous examples of the damage that has been caused by the indiscriminate use of chemicals and weapons. Added to which the growing of Genetically Modified crops without  proper safe guards in place. Yet  when something  affects America then we all must stand to attention. They have forgotten or choose to ignore the fact that the  Rig involved in this incident is American, crewed by Americans, the safety equipment and procedures were American. The USA was responsible for the granting of the operating licences, consequently  they mus be responsible for the overseeing of the operating procedures. Therefore this must give them a considerable chunk of the responsibility. Yet they will not accept this, not until the inevitable movie is made. America is a great Nation with good honest nice people, yet at times they can be unreasonable and overbearing. convinced that they are always right. They are great advocates  of the stick and carrot approach.  Go in and bomb the hell out of them on day one and on day two going in with the relief packages. It's no wonder half the world dislike them.
