Why does the American government fight to free other countries?

This object is not the cause - it's merely an attempt at justification.\nDifferent foreign wars have different real causes, but economics is usually present.  These days it's the over-powerful lobbies of Israel, the CIA and the US Military.

Because US wants other independent countries be unarmed against some occupier countries like Israel and US.\nEven US doesn't want other countries achieve out new technologies for peaceful purposes, because they want others be dependent them for ever.\nUS and some western countries were/are arming Israel with a lot of WMDs including nukes and Israel has more than 250 nuclear warheads. Israel is real threat for its neighbors for more than 60 years. Israelis occupied Palestine and they are killing innocent people in their homes everyday.\nIf somebody /a country protest to Israel or US crimes, they calming it's a threat, because US and Israel are founded on Military base governments and protesters will make them some troubles.\nAs usual, they claiming other countries are threats, because they need some excuses for invading them for their benefits.

To steal the wealth of the invaded country. No national leaders really care about freedom, democracy and so on in other countries. USA now claims they want democracy in Iraq, but for a long time, they funded dictatorships in Latin America. They just find the best way to steal the wealth of all over the planet.

We defend our needs and ideals against those who would take them away.\nIf muslims want to take the lives of my countrymen or my nations allies then we must destroy them before they destroy us.\n\nFreedom isnt free.

America has a nasty habit of getting involved in matters that do not directly affect us.  This is a huge cause of contention with other nations.  When America is so divided (and not united as promised), they feel that we shouldn't have any right in telling them how to live.  Americans are also very self-involved.  We think of ourselves first and others last.  Americans also tend to think in terms that the world revolves around them not realizing that there are many other cultures out there.  We forget that other countries have different laws and standards than America and generally, Americans just don't care.  This is why other countries have hatred towards Americans and the government.

The US is struggling because they did not have a good, sane reason to go to war in the first place and they certainly did not have an exit strategy.  Most  people forcasted that this would be another Vietnam quagmire.  And they were right.  Also the US government knew zip about the cultures of the countries they invaded.  Their philosophy of life is totally different from the west.   It is a shame that the leader of the US government is such a cowboy that he thinks the people in these countries are like the cattle on his ranch - just ready to be roped in.  Boy was he wrong.  And yes, the young men of the US and their families are paying dearly for his lack of judgement and his lack of education and foresight.

because the US has the strength to intimidate other nations and can impose enough economic sanctions to make other nations think twice before crossing em

The United States is one country that supports peace. That's why we're trying so hard to end a war that someone started against us.

Theoretically it is to help poor countries develop.  In reality the governments lose their autonomy by having to follow the rules of those who are "helping".  Often at the expense of the citizens and more to the reward of the "helping" country.  The biggest offender being the United States.

Canada did not struggle for freedom.  Canada chooses to keep its ties to its British roots.  We fought no battles against Britain, nor did we want to.  Canada and Britain have fought side-by-side in two world wars.  We are as free as any country, with our own government, and a Governor General who represents our Queen on state occasions.  Our history is very different from that of the USA.

America was founded on freedom.  Our forefathers didn't want the government imposing anything on its citizens.  In modern times, religious references in a public, governmental setting walks a fine line.

Because they like to use America for their own interest as they have been. It makes me wonder too.

Perhaps the rest of the world feels that the Middle East wouldn't be a threat if the U.S. weren't instigating them into a fight by invading their countries. I think if we're not looking for specific terrorists, then we should just stay out.\n\nIf the people in a country want to set up a democracy, that's great, and if they ask for our help, we may provide it. I think forcing change on another country is going too far, and yes, it is possible to go too far. We don't know when to stop a war, or to let go of other countries, letting them determine their own fate.\n\nI think the fact that many Americans spit out the same thing that our politicians are telling us shows us the power of propoganda.

They do they want it liberated ...from the USA.

You have a group of people who've grown up being taught that the USA is evil, and that by fighting it they get a free ticket to Heaven.  We then go right into the middle of their world to start a fight.  It is not something that will end in a matter of months.  \nNot defending or condemning the decision to go, but we have to understand that now that we are there, it may be a while before things calm down
