> They're not sniping protestors from rooftops. Only killing people on the other side of the world with drones. And if the wrong people are killed, well, 'shit happens', let's just call those dead innocents 'collateral damage'. > There are times I wish the US would disengage from the world so humanity can be reminded of what its like to live without a generally benevolent hegemonic power. You should be made aware that the US isn't being a 'generally benevolent hegemonic power' out of the goodness of it's heart. It's doing so to protect its political and economic interests. By all means, elect Trump, and secede back into isolationism. It's going to suck for you as well, as all that economic power you get from sweetheart deals from your military projection? It's going to fade away. As for foreign aid, US foreign aid is, per capita, well below that of other western democracies. It's always amusing when USians pretend like they're doing the world an altruistic favour by being 'world cop', when in reality they get plenty of kickbacks. Ask yourself this: if the US was really the 'altruistic world cop', then why does it ignore so many trouble spots?
