My question to all the non-americans here about their feelings on the role america plays in this world. whether they feel blessed, outraged, delighted, suppressed, content or any random feelings. How would you view the american intervention in internal affairs of a country in the name of protecting humanity and innocent civilians.....in the end how much does the civilians gain? Does these gain replaces the loss occurred?

Let me keep it to a few points(for the non-humanitarian intervention):

• Intervention justified keeping in mind the larger public interest of the people of the concerned country or/and the world
• As a test platform for the new technologies developed.
• A war game for the US that is in fact a war for the country concerned.
• To oppress any anti-U.S regime which lacks power but thinks its own interest first
• Just a reason to continue public spending on defense
• Acting as a prefect(U.S) in a class(world) to discipline the undisciplined students(intervened countries). If so then the so called discipline is in whose frame of view?

Thank You.
