Of course not. But what I want to say is this: American people don't give a darn about other regions of the world, nor if those regions are democratic or not. They can't even show them on the map for Christ's sake... But the leaders try to convince them it's necessary to go out and kick some arses, so they manipulate them and create such an atmosphere in the society. American people are not ignorant, they are narcissistic, they are controlled by media and 85% of Americans never stepped foot on a foreign soil. They lack information just because THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW! US citizens are happy and content with the country they live in.
