content: That's an interesting thought but, that Iraqi interpreter wasn't doing charity work you do a job you get paid.  Its not you do a job you get special privilege for your entire country.  The northern alliance had their own agenda they were getting killed in a hopeless struggle until we came in and gave them direction and resources. And I'm sure that Pakistani doctor who so heroically ratted out a dying old man for a chance at millions did it out of the kindness of his heart. Guess he forgot about the do no harm part of his Hippocratic oath  as he called in a seal team to kill his patient.  If they stick their necks out they aren't doing it out of the kindness of their heart.  They do what they do for their own greedy motives. I'm sorry you aren't rational enough to realize that just because a few(relative to the population) people did us a favor in no way grants open borders for life. And yes some good Iraqis died helping our troops but, you know some of our troops died helping Iraqis.  And I don't know about you I care a whole lot more about our troops than the best Iraqi/Afghani/Syrian/whatever.  Get some perspective.
