Let's assume, for the moment, that you are serious....
The world is not united against the US. The Mid East has elements who are pissed off at virtually anything. Until we get free of oil dependency, we have to deal with it.
The various societies that make up the population of this planet ALL work toward their self-interest. They support our policies when it is in their interests. They don't "march to our beat" because we're such nice guys. They want something.
We have an oil dependency. The ME has oil. The ME is working solely toward their own self-interest. There is absolutely no altruism involved.
Why should we be expected to be altruistic? Why should we be expected to work against our self-interest? You wouldn't be proposing something culturally insensitive, like perhaps daytime TV has turned us collectively into mush-brained retards, or something similar?
You have a problem with us buying corrupt politicians in other countries? What, we're supposed to have a monopoly on corrupt politicians? Like we were told in the 80's and 90's when we whined that the Japs were buying America(ignoring the fact that the English already owned far more than the Japs ever could): No sellers, no buyers.
No matter what we do, somebody will be displeased. We may as well try to please ourselves; we have a shot at that.
