The United States is an "evil empire" on any moral metric. The reason why it's so easy to incite violence against America in the region is because, whether you want to admit it or not, the people doing so have justice on their side.
You would have thought Americans would realize it by now: dudes in Iraq were throwing themselves by the thousand into the maw of the American war machine to put an end to the occupation there. If men believe they are fighting for a just and moral cause, they will be far more willing to sacrifice life and limb. This is the principle reason why occupying and colonial powers never win in the end. The willpower of the occupied eventually overcomes the technological advantages of the imperial power.
In the case of Libya, you have the Islamists who attacked the consulate there because they were convinced that a show of force against the nation's most hated adversary would bolster the legitimacy of their arms and allow them to extend guardianship over the populace. That guardianship will be the premise for the establishment of an Islamic state there, and the men with the guns will reap all the benefits of control of that state.
I am sorry but here this..you are a fucking idiot. The idea that that the United States is some evil emprire is pure bullshit. If you are an citizen of the US do us a favor -- get the fuck out of this country and don't come back. If you are not, don't come here. EVER.
You have drunk the liberal kook-aid so thoroughly that your are drowning in it, and you don't even know it.
What defines an empire? The acquisition of territory and its natural resources, and the subjugation of its peoples.
Think about Egypt for a second, if you can think at all. It has nothing we need. Absolutely nothing. It doesn't make anything, it has no oil. It only has the fucking pyramids.
Now think about Libya. Yes it has oil...but guess what? It can control its own oil. We don't own it, ship it, process it, refine it. It belongs to Libya. Moreover it sells most of its oil to Europe (which is why Europe was so hot to trot to make sure we were in on the Libyan freedom movement. Europe needs its oil).
The people who are attacking our embassies, killing our diplomatic representatives, burning our flag, and throwing molotov cocktails are the fucking scum of the earth. They should be obliterated. Smashed. Destroyed. Quashed. And I could give two shits whether you or anyone like you is offended. Go to hell.
