Lightbulb Never ending problem........

Everyone thinks that the US just regulates the rest of the world by itself and does what it pleases when the mood strikes them. This is not the case. When the US decides to participate in any type of activity-whether good or bad- with another country it's because the leaders ask for help. A majority of the leaders of foreign countries are at a common ground/on good terms with the US. It's the regimes within the country that may not agree with their own leaders/government and decide to do their own governing and military regulating. This clash and chaos within their own country makes the leaders ask the US to do something-cause we have the power to do so. The dissenters don't like that and therefore don't like the US. So what happens? We help and get blamed. We don't help and still get blamed. We can't win either way we go.

We are executing those extremists who have only two things on their mind- hatred and death for those that they believe oppose them. If these people went on about their business without getting the US involved, things would be a-o-k. It hard enough for the US to focus on it's own problems, let alone the problems of other countries. However, people make us part of their problem, so when we get threatened we must act. Even if that means taking out those that set out to do us harm. It's one thing to retaliate, but a whole different story to just live ones life to kill Americans.
