I'm not sure you'll be there. Are you in Somalia fx. Now you think about it because it does hurt those shipping routes not having a stable government. Where have you been that didn't have some sort of US agenda?
But generally: I'm not trying to downplay the greatness of USA. You could be legend. I am just irritated of the tarnishes of that state. As sarkozy (french prime minister, whom I rarely agrees with) recently said: I only critisize you because you are not as great as we want you to be. I want you to uphold that flame of liberty and freedom around the world. Or at least be a torch for the world. But when you don't. When you're selfish, acts like a child. Treats democracy as if it was a candy for you to hand out and take away. Then I'm disappointed. At the moment universal rights seems to be only for americans... then I'm troubled. You should be greater than that. You should be wiser than that.
Otherwise you just revert to: those with power has the right (which is really the founding of USA). But if so, you can't really complain about the suppressed's "terror".
