They don't threaten your freedom, but they threaten the freedom of the people who live in the Middle East

I don't see them drone striking and assassinating the Emirs and Saudi royalty who are responsible much of the "freedom-limiting" activity in the Middle East though.
Why should we believe that? Why do you believe that? Who is to say the people targeted have affiliations to the organizations claimed? The US federal government has little credibility. Usually we demand they back up their assertions in court before they're believed. Courts exist because we know governments lie, so how can you be so confident here?
You can watch frontlines on the Syria conflict if you don't believe the government.
It's all about money and power, nothing about freedom, neither yours or theirs
