We don't always come in on the side of good, Justi. The United States has
had its fair share of nefarious alliances and underhanded dealings. Some of it has come back to haunt us in the Middle East (bin Laden is part of that cycle as well). Pakistan is a current reminder of what happens when you shore up a dictator. Our invasion and occupation of Iraq has gained for us the suspicions of the entire Muslim world and the aloofness of former allies, especially in Europe. But we do good in lots of places. We're one of the great humanitarian nations, both through federally funded assistance and through private, non-profit organizations as well. The problem we're seeing right now is that no one is thinking long term. Given the myopic (and sometimes nonexistent) foreign policy of the current administration, is it really all that shocking that so many around the world point their fingers at Washington?

Oh it is time the trouble is that we can't come together on what is evil and what is not.

It is everywhere
I agree. We tend to see what we want, when we want, no matter on which side of the earth we're living. Maybe it's time that we all stood together in fighting the evil thats trying to take over our world.

Some people are ignorant and others who complain often do so without studying the issues. You have a good post. Thanks.
