Common sense would seemingly dictate that any country continually meddling in the affairs of other countries and/or foisting their policies/views/political positions on foreign sovereign nations would naturally incur the rancor of their citizenry and their governing bodies. Then when you add in military force and foreign military and civilian injuries and deaths to the equation, common sense again would dictate that a growing list of enemies would be the natural outcome of such actions.

Many folks say we must undertake these actions abroad to insure our safety at home, yet how can the creation of an ever growing list of enemies be deemed a sane method for the safety of our people abroad or at home?

Having said this before, it still bears repeating: If ANY foreign govt. were to attempt occupation on our soil they'd find Americans would rise up en masse and repel such intruders with the most vicious acts of terrorism ever seen, essentially makin what goes on in the middle east look like the actions of amateurish choir boys in comparison
