From an outsider's perspective, the hypocrisy is what jumps out. Every US regime behaves this way: gunboat diplomacy goes back to the days of the banana republics, it was the United Fruit Company then, and oil today. Fact is the US is run by oligarchs. Peace presidents from Nixon onwards are just fronts for corporate interests. JFK was probably the only sane president since Roosevelt. Edit: replaced correct term with "peace presidents."
