Because all the do gooders in the world whether they’re doing good for others or doing it for themselves are troublemakers. On the basis of ‘kindly let me help you or you’ll drown’, said the Monkey putting the fish safely up a tree. We white anglo saxon protestants; British, German, American. We have been on a rampage for the past hundred or more years to improve the world. We have given the benefits of our culture, our religion, our technology to everybody except perhaps the Australian aborigines. And we have insisted that they receive the benefits of our culture even our political styles our democracy you better be dead Democratic I will shoot you. And having conferred these blessings all over the place we wonder why everybody hates us. Because sometimes doing good to others and even doing go to oneself is amazingly destructive. Because it’s full of conceit. How do you know what’s good for other people? How do you know what’s good for you? If you say you want to improve. Then you want to know what’s good for you. But obviously you don’t because if you did you would be improved. So we don’t know. - Alan Watts
I once asked a soldier, "If this is a 'War on Terror,' how does Terror surrender and what are the terms of surrender?" Just like we have a "War on Crime, War on Drugs, War on Poverty." How do these things sit at a table and negotiate a peaceful surrender or at least a cease fire?
As a retired U.S. Army Lt. Colonel told me, "Either we fight them here or we fight them over there." Why are we fighting again? Because they hate us and our way of life? Bunch of guys from Middle Eastern countries hijack 4 commercial airliners. 2 are crashed intentionally into the Twin Towers killing thousands. 1 is flown into the Pentagon. The fourth was supposed to be flown into the White House. So the U.S. asks for a coalition of countries to invade Afghanistan and occupy it for 20 years to keep the hostile civilian citizens too busy fighting for their backyard to fly more planes into U.S. buildings?
Who are these guys? Foreign military assets sent on a sanctioned mission by their respective government? No! They are everyday Joes from 3rd world nations who are okay with living under 5th Century rules and lifestyles. Sure, they want to spread that way of life globally, but they have a history centuries long of a lack of cooperation and infighting so bad that they can't accomplish anything in their home countries let alone around the world.
The whole Arab Spring non-sense the U.S. got involved in a years back is a prime example of do gooders being troublemakers. I cannot believe the U.S. really thought Libya was going to establish some sort of "Democracy" when its leader was overthrown/killed. In the end it only made things worse for the U.S. and got their ambassador and other U.S. citizens killed.
