True, but you know it's counterproductive. The US only used to install new governments when the prior governments were unstable and full of chaos that had the probability of boiling over and erupting into a situation that could greatly impact the US. A good example is Afghanistan. However, the US isn't perfect and our government makes stupid decisions all the time. For instance, in Saudi Arabia we are propping up the royal family rather than letting the chips fall where they may. If the people had more of the nations wealth and had a true voice, maybe you wouldn't have extremists like Osama getting bred in Saudi Arabia. But again, the US can't solve all the problems in the world. In most cases, we can only solve one or two problems at a time. Right now it's Osama and Omar and their networks.
