RussActing to preserve the stability of the region. An example of what would've happened if you *hadn't* intervened is that loathsome little pocket of no-man's-land in Bosnia, where Eastern European women are moved through into white slavery in Europe (its name escapes me at this late hour).

They don't have any *good* reason to hate us. They tend to overlook that we make a serious effort to bring about peace.
Not to mention the Muslims we saved in Bosnia, Kosovo,
KuwaitOil-wells, anyone? Where was righteous American anger while the Kurds and the Marsh Arabs were being slaughtered?
and Afghanistan.Another side-effect of American actions.
While these were quite 'good things', it would be disingenuous for you to claim that America acted from altruistic motives - where was the concern for the Afghanis when you wanted permission from the Taliban to build a pipeline across Afghanistan?
