You want to protect us? Stop starting wars, stop bombing people in other countries

14. Why are we involved in the business of other countries at all? Why did the US help to install

Saddam Hussein and encourage the toppling of their elected leader? Why did we interfere in Iran, in Chile to put a dictator in power, dictators are our allies in all of these places we interfere in. Mostly right wing dictators. Why do we love right wing dictators so much?

Let's try something, although I'm not hopeful.

Supposing some foreign government decided that the president elected by the American people was not someone they approved of, let's say it was a Democrat and they secretly conspired with some right wing groups, let's say the tea party, to assassinate that president and install someone like, say, Cheney. Then that government helped the Cheney-like puppet now our president, to kill and torture those of us who were supporters of the Democrat they assassinated and who refused to accept the new, installed Cheney-like character. Supposing over the course of many years, many of us Democrats who tried to restore an elected Democrat were tortured and murdered with the help of the foreign government?

What do you think we Americans would do in such a situation? Would we accept our fate and bend over for the foreign government's dictator, ignore the torture and murder of our friends and families?

Supposing this foreign government had made deals with the Cheney-like right wing dictator, now our president, to hand over our resources into the control of that foreign government? Would you call those of us who might try to resist the takeover of our government with the backing of a foreign government, 'radical terrorists' if we decided to try to fight for our country?

Why are most of our 'allies' always right wing dictators who torture and murder and imprison their own people?

Don't believe me? How about Bahrain? Uzbekistan? Azerbaijan? Colombia? Chile? Egypt, Tunisia, Iraq until our dictator got uppity with us? We are currently supporting several right wing dictators around the world who are imprisoning and torturing their own people.

Can you explain why citizens of any of those countries might not be angry at us for the suffering we have helped to impose on them?

Would we be angry at that foreign government who interfered with our elections and helped installed Dick Cheney who then tortured and imprisoned and murdered those of us who tried to resist this takeover of our government?

Are you so unaware of our 'foreign policy' that you have no idea why so many people all over the world are angry at us?
