Discussion Question
Under what premise is it okay to expect people to be grateful for our actions? Specifically, should the United States expect the people of other countries (i.e Iraq) for "liberating" them? Should we consider it a great act in the name of democracy and shun the idea that others would be ungrateful (possibly against) of the great democracy conquest?

I believe people should be grateful to us the United States for our actions. I am not patriotic at all but I know we are helping other countries such as Iraq from a dictatorship that wasn’t helping them out at all. I am Mexican and I am grateful for the help we got when Spain lost its control over us and we became our own nation. I know I wasn't alive back then but the Spanish crown was drained Mexico of all of it natural wealth. In Iraq and many countries it is not other countries ruining them its a person of that nation so its just as bad if not worse.
