Unfortunately, many Americans don't know what their government does and there's a selective hysteria as to what to get upset about. This is the fault mainly of our abysmal media which intentionally keeps us uninformed.

The Middle East has been a mess for decades and continues to be, but you avoided my point. When Putin (or Hitler, or Caesar, or Alexander, or Ghengis Khan) started wars, it was to capture, plunder, and subjugate. When the USA gets involved in wars, whether misguided or not, it is to try to return countries to their people, rebuild them and provide humanitarian relief like food and medical, with their own sovereignty intact, and rulers of their peoples' choosing.
