On the one hand, I don't like how wee push ourselves everywhere, but there's also the fact that our government has agents working in pretty much every place on the globe. It is very possible that they have a better grasp on the big picture of what's going on in the world than you or I. I'm not saying they're right or wrong, but until one is in that situation themselves, is it really right to judge? On the one hand, people complain that wee police the world, but looking at it objectively, our nation does have a relatively high quality of life compared to the rest of the world. Wee may not be the perfect example of what a world leader should be, but wee're at least on par with any alternatives.
