I'm just going to say this... Even if we don't condone the powers that be doing this, it's ironic that Americans are telling foreigners to mind their own business or that they don't have any right commenting on our politics when our country has repeatedly been in the business of replacing many country's leaders with leaders they deem the lesser evil.
At least their commenting on our politics didn't create a vacuum and completely destabilize the middle east, giving rise to an even more threatening entity, costing Americans trillions of dollars and more importantly, countless lives of young people serving their country.
It doesn't make a bit of difference if a foreigner agrees or disagrees with me. What's more important is if what they are saying is backed up with facts. That's the entire point of having a forum discussion... to hopefully discuss fruitfully. If that isn't the point, then you're just looking for an echo chamber. Those same people commonly put people in an extreme dichotomy of "evil" or "ignorant" when someone disagrees with them. As brothers and sisters in Christ, we should be better than that.
