WE did all of that because they did not OBEY us when we told them what to do.
This is supposed to be America. Our country was meant to stand for some ideals that are important.
Having a giant military and invading countries, occupying countries, overthrowing govt.'s and killing people all over the world are NOT even remotely part of the ideals that this once great nation was founded on.
The pieces of shit politicians and bureaucrats have made us a nation of scared, dependent people who live in fear and think that it's for our "own good" to be searched at airports and eavesdrop on our citizens and build a wall to keep the "evil" Mexicans out of the U.S.
I believe that if George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, or any of the other founding fathers were to meet a person like "theking", they would hang him from a tree for treason.

Actually... In 1854 the United States first used gunboat diplomacy with Japan. Five US ships sailed into Tokyo Bay and blocked the port until Japan opened two of their ports to trade with the US. We have a long history of big stick diplomacy and dollar diplomacy. It didn't start in the last 50 years.
Also most wars this country have been in we were not attacked first.
