Do you agree or disagree with the view that, in the past, the United States has been far too arrogant and selfish in the way it has treated the world's poorest countries?

(25) There have been articles in some newspapers opposing retaliation and criticising the US for the way it has behaved in the world. Some say such criticism is "irresponsible" at this time of crisis; others say it is essential to maintaining democratic debate at this vital time. Do you think that critics of the US should voice their opposition or stay silent over the next few weeks?
