An ad-hom attack? Seriously?
Don't ignore history. America is not the protector of peace and freedom in the world. America does not promote democracy and human rights. Democracy threatens corporate interests.
"The business of America is business." -- Calvin Coolidge.
America has always been imperialistic; has always devoted itself to the interests of the industrialists and "owners" -- Roosevelt's "economic royalists"
The American military has been primarily deployed to acquire and defend corporate market interests, not freedom and democracy. Soldiers are corporate employees [read: dupes], not defenders of our freedom.
America's imperialism creates resentment -- and enemies. America responds by creating a police-surveillance state; restricting the rights and freedoms of its citizens, suppressing dissent, and diverting funds from healthcare, education, infrastructure and social welfare to fund its worldwide military adventurism, covert political machinations, and domestic propaganda.
