"They love killing people and blowing stuff up."

Yeah, that´s the case - and one reason why the US are so unpopular. Peoples are sick of deads and "civilian casualties".

Another reason could be, that the US behaved ambiguous in the last years: on the one hand you´re engaged when you´re business is affected (Iraqi oil), but when only human rights are in danger, you do nothing or just little (Eritrea, Ethipia, Congo, N Korea).

but when only human rights are in danger, you do nothing or just little

An inaccurate statement.

Many NGO's ( non-governmental organizations) based out of the United States involve themselves in relief efforts in these and many other countries.

A lot more usually lies behind the scenes in this countries too -like *their own governments*, either explicitly or through out-moded, ineffective and dictatorial policies- which then hamstring any efforts by the people residing in those countries to better themsleves.

It's just flat amazing what the adoption of the rule of law in the way of The Constitution did for this country.
