Regarding a nation and its interests, as Hawkmoon wrote: <The US "government" is not some monolithic organism operating in complete unity of purpose. It's policies and interests often change with each new administration (one of the greatest criticisms of US foreign policy)...> The idea that nations or even individuals act in their interests is simplistic. In the freedom-loving countries, there are increasing laws to protect people against themselves, which says quite a bit about the idea of freedom as cliched in those countries and also about people or nations acting in their own interests.
