I think the US needs to fix its own problems before trying to help anyone else. Otherwise it's just the blind leading the blind. The US is just trying to force it's own beliefs, thinking that their beliefs are right, on other people, which is hypocritical.
"Oh you are going to have freedom, but you are going to do it our way!" is what I think whenever the US tries to engage in foreign conflicts. The Cold War? It's just Soviets trying to fix the economy after WWII through communism. "You aren't doing it right! We are shutting you down!" -US
I don't have anything against the US, but it just seems very one sided.
