the senator

so today a Pennsylvania senator came to our school; who shall remain anonymous, not because im trying to like protect his identity or anything but i legit forget his name,
anywho, so he mainly just talked for a reaaallly long time, then people started asking him questions (and by "people" im mean the same two people who are the only ones who ever participate in bible class) and one of them was like what do you think about the US being in Libya (which is a surprisingly hard word to phonetically spell, kinda like "of" and "phonetically" itself) and he said he didn't think we should be there unless it directly effects the US. and i was thinking he must not drive often, because hello! gas prices! but i think he probably meant more substantial effects. and he was like the US is not meant to be a policing country and ect.
that sounds super selfish though, like the US isn't suppose to help anyone else unless it gets something in return. i also noticed this when i was writing my research paper about the chinese genocide, when Japan went into Nanking and just killed everyone in really horrible ways, and the US refused to get involved while Japan was taking over China until a boat with like few americans got attacked, then they freaked out. i mean wow, like hundreds of thousands of innocent Chinese people were being slaughtered and the US is just like whatever, but one boat gets attacked (and i don't even think anyone was killed) and the US is all over it.
