17. It would be wrong not to...

I hate to say it but I too have no idea why the things happen as they do.
In times like these I can refer back to the constitution, in those first few lines I find the common republican basis for all that they do...
" We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

They impose what their will is on the world as they see fit to impose it according to their expression of a "more perfect union". They have the funds and everybody is watching them.

We all have the power to do the same.
