Somehow, this view of america doing interventions in foreign countries for the good of all, is an outdated hollywood picture. There are too many monetary interests involved, that there is no way, that these interventions are just for "the good of the world". It feels more that "should the good for the many coincide with our corporate greed, then it's a win-win-situation, otherwise the profits are more important".
This is probably a gross overgeneralization, but with everything else happening right now ... it seems to be closer to the truth than what hollywood made us believe.
