You have it exactly right. The people would love to have us, but the govt. is wants to be known as the sole source of aid and comfort, even if a lot of their citizens have to die.
The reality is Government wants to own the people, wants to have the people depend and need only the Govt. and no one or no thing else.
This is why Hillary wanted her Govt. controlled health plan. This is why communism persecuted any religious belief. This is why the Romans persecuted the Christians for no other reason than holding a belief that there was a higher authority than the Roman Government.
