In this case, those that crossed the border to off Bin Laden.
Yes, I understand that a small strike team crossing a border to eliminate one of the most dangerous criminals in the world is not the same as actively supporting an armed insurrection - it wasn't supposed to be taken literally. US soldiers go over into Pakistan illegally on a daily basis. Drone strikes (confirmed) number in the hundreds, with around 200 children being killed.
And that's just Pakistan.
The entire system in America sees nothing wrong with that. The exceptionalism has reached unbelievable levels, and the politicians, the entire political system is encouraging that. Biden almost lost it on that podium during DNC "we're 'murica, we're second to none, we're the best, smartest..." and so on.
The people buy into that surprisingly easy. Yes, we're best. Of course we are. But, wait if the results don't show that, it certainly isn't our fault. It must be those Muslims or Mexicans or the rest of the world holding us back, which leads to even worse behaviour both domestic and abroad.
Incidentally, that's what creates Trumps. Luckily for America and the rest of the world, Trump is a narcissistic buffoon who can't tie his own shoelaces. Even Hillary should be able to beat him.
But, next one might be a little more charismatic, and little smarter and much more dangerous.
