Seems to me that's of national interest and security...and what does a nation have a military for if not to provide national security and protect national interests.
This article is pure spin. I am not surprised by the polls...the worlds media hates us, because stupid, factless, bash America rants make people there feel better, and allows foreign governments to hid their corruption, and of course sells papers. It's pretty ridiculous to assume polls in the region would have anything kind to say about the US.
If we announced tomorrow that we were withdrawing our troops from every post around the world and letting the Chinese take over...with the comment that "The Chinese will ensure you have human rights, freedom, and such." I wonder what the worlds reaction would be.

That's a thought, I would love to see the "PANDELIRIUM" at the United Nations!
