It's Imperialism plain and simple.
We are putting our nose into every corner of the globe and calling it "National Defense".
It appears to me that the majority of people in this world HATE the United States.
We get fed a line of bullshit that it's because of our "freedom" (yeah, we're real "free" with more citizens than any country on Earth incarcerated).
But once you start paying attention at how many people around the world whose lives we have ruined...then you start to understand why our country is so hated. It's shameful.
And the part that irks me the most is...we, the people get the blame for what our fucked up Govt. is doing. And "we" are so misinformed and under-informed by our media that we don't even realize what's going on.
That's why most of us citizens were so shocked at 9-11
We shouldn't have been, the govt. sure wasn't. They KNEW it was coming sooner or later because of their actions.
But we citizens had no idea what our govt. is up to. And when someone blows the whistle and tries to tell us...they are sent to prison.
I always thought we were the "good guys". Now that I'm older, wiser, and more world traveled...I see that most times we are the "bad guys".
