Oh yes I forgot your second part about America and there global war on terror. The war on terror is either a big lie or a really bad not well thought out idea. It's seems more like a excuse to get a foot in the door of foreign countries that may not welcome certain corpations coming their and exploiting there resources. It also about control. "We are doing this for your own safety" "That's why you have to give up your civil liberties so we can make it safe for you".
If we really wanted to fight bad guys we would fight North Korea or Iran. But, they might put up too great of a fight and nobody on ourside will profit if fight doesn't end in us being able to put in a puppet. Hell, North Korea is like mobsters extorting food instead of money from us. If we don't give them aid they will do bad shit. So we we give them aid. Yet we fight libya, Iraq which already got a beat down a decade before, and Afganistan? Afganistan? Most the 911 hijackers where from Saudi Arabia.
