I never said the other countries had a right to change our lives. But if we keep fucking up, wouldn't they try to do it with force? Oh wait... what I just explained is exactly what we have been doing. Using force to change the lives of people belonging to other nations. Look in the fucking mirror dude. And have fun living your life with ideologies from last century.
If you believe that invading other countries is "setting a moral example and defending the rest of the world"... then surely Bush was the best president ever.
Yes. Overthrowing global tyrants is setting an example to the world. You act as if all war has suddenly stopped under Obama..... everything Bush did, Obama is doing..... 3X as many american soldiers have died in combat since Obama was president than during Bush's presidency. Obama has broken what little trust people had left in government.
I dont want to be in other countries trying to change them either..... let everyone else kill themselves, i dont give two shits personally..... if you feel the same way, then you shouldnt be voting for or supporting democrats... and especially not ones named Obama. A vote for a democrat is a vote to increase the size and power of this government you seem to be at odds with..... It's a vote to give them more resources and authority to force an agenda not only on other countries, but on you and me......
If you dont like this and want to reduce the size and authority of the US government.... reduce their ability to meddle in our lives and the lives of other countries.....
Then i suppose Ted Cruz and/or Rand Paul can expect your vote next election.
Afghanistan's "leadership" was the Taliban when we entered Afghanistan, and it was protecting someone who had just launched an attack on US soil. Surely, you don't think that we should have sat back and said that was ok. Their citizens already were anti-American in public comments.
Iraq was entirely different than Afghanistan, and that one possibly could have been avoided; however, that country was already publically promoting "Death to America", so you can hardly say that their children would not have grown up to hate US citizens if we had not entered Iraq.
And our citizens in the Twin Towers also had almost no control over their fate either, and are still deceased. Our foreign enemies had more control over their fates than they did themselves.
