I really wouldn't expect you to - but one day America may do something
that does not directly make a huge profit for America. Were we a major
oil producing country run by an absolute monarchy and with a dubious
human rights record, of course, you'd be in like a flash. And we'd be
stupid enough to feel that we ought to turn up and help on day one.
However, you wouldn't understand why we would do that - you would just
expect it.
