Yes we do. We also make some problems worse by interfering.

Despite what you non-americans may think, that is what we are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan right now.

Really? If that were really true, we would have found Osama long ago. Our President and a chosen few probably know exactly where he is. They don't want him caught! He's needed as a scapegoat. As long as Osama's out there we have just cause to occupy Afghanistan.
Really?

In 1958, a year after Saddam had joined the Ba'ath party, army officers led by General Abdul Karim Qassim overthrew Faisal II of Iraq. The Ba'athists opposed the new government, and in 1959, Saddam was involved in the attempted United States-backed plot to assassinate Qassim.
Various U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials have asserted that Saddam was strongly linked with the CIA, and that U.S. intelligence, under President John F. Kennedy, helped Saddam's party seize power for the first time in 1963.
America's leadership deserves to be criticized and attacked.
Also, America isn't really led by the people anymore. It's led by self absorbed politicians who only want a cushy seat of power.
