getting involved in countries affairs

same as getting involved in other people's business. Getting involved in a countries business is completely different. Usually we only get involved in countries affairs when it has to do with land or items, such as gas, oil , or other goods. Wars are mainly started by other countries trying to help them, and the country doesn't want help. It is hard to help a country such as Iraq, because they have been at war with each other forever. If a country has been at war for so long that's got to give you a hint, that they are probably not going to stop fighting and that we should back off.
