You say that as if it's bad thing,even if true.
Seriously; who gives a rat's rectum? Not this little black duck.( apart from the oil of course.)
I've never really understood the mind set of many 'ordinary' Americans who seem to have appointed themselves World Police.
Innate American jingoism has helped make the US the most powerful,feared and hated nation on earth.

Well, I think most people just want the US to mind it's own fucking business. However,my view is far more pragmatic: Neither government policy nor wars are based on moral principle,but always on vested interest. Whenever US troops are killing foreigners in their own country,one needs to ask cui bono? (who benefits) A numerically large minority of Americans always benefit from US wars in many ways.
Cynical politicians on all sides always take a non existent moral high ground to gull our gormless young men into going to a foreign country to kill their gormless young men. Those in charge remain in the rear with the gear,or thousands of miles away under a few yards of reinforced concrete.
