Mark10,

Thats the whole point the USA only goes in where it can see an advantage to itself whether economic or stratgic. All those other countries you mention dont rate in those objectives so USA stays out. Lets not kid ourselves the USA as the wealthiest and most powerful nation on Earth could and ought to be doing a lot better and has lost much respect during the Dubya years. Most Americans now agree that is the case and are hoping Obama and the Democrats will steer the USA where it is respected around the world.
