You almost had me until you mentioned proxy wars in Africa. You're also ignoring the tremendous good that the US has been to Africa in the post-colonial era, with both government programs and civilian charities responsible for delivering critically needed food, medicine, mosquito nets and (yes) education to the people of Africa. It's easy to think of America, or Pakistan, or any country as being inherently good or evil, but that's always incorrect, the result of dark fantasies within your own mind. The truth of any country is bound to be more complex, just as the truth of any human soul is more complex. We all have good and evil, selflessness and selfishness buried within our hearts, and that's reflected in the governments we allow to rule over us.
