. . . they seem to get so damned bent out of shape when they "accidentally" invade a far more profitable, neighboring nation, merely to be turned back because their other neighbors, worried over massive takeovers by overzealous dictators, ask for U.S. intervention. And when we do intervene and we witness the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction within that same dictatorship regime, we boycott and set sanctions against them.
We’re so damned evil!
Dunno exactly what Finkielkraut's problem is, but perhaps there is a certain lacking of insight here? Nations called upon to intervene for other nations will only naturally be looked upon as an enemy to some. I suppose if the U.S. merely sat on its hands, we would have no enemies at all? Well, not according to the Middle East in regards to Israel and Palestine (which are, of course, completely isolated interests, having absolutely nothing at all to do with the rest of the Middle East). The anger directed to us then only heats up when we do nothing -- or when we aid Israel -- or when we aid Palestine -- or when we attempt to block the weapons and mercenary flow from other Middle Eastern nations...
