You seem to be lacking in information, here is a non-comprehensive place for you to start learning about our government's history:

  1. Strange that there are right-wing governments that were hostile to US interests targeted in that list, then. Fuck, did you even read your own source?

The point being that you don't even understand that the DoD doesn't pick its own targets? Fuck's sake.
