Where do you get these questions from? And who are “they”?

Had we been of that mindset we would owned/controlled the world with the invention of the A-Bomb.

The next time some friggen idiot tells you the USA is “expansionist/imperialist” country ask them where we’ve expanded to?

I’ll give you a root cause, they are muslim, the USA is predominately Christian we’ve been at odds for about 2500 years. Their ideology and ours is different. They don’t like ours and they’re bent on changing it. Their religious teaching does not allow for “being different” and does not teach religious tolerance. We’ve introduced freedom to parts of the world and that in its self scares the shit out of them. Freedom will destroy their religion/power base. They know it and it’s the very reason they severely limit “Western” influence in their countries and control the media on a national level. Their religion/power base grows daily but the populations they target are usually 5th world and rather uneducated populations.

I’d keep writing but you get the point. The root cause to many conflicts is ideology.
