Re: Why do you guys think the country is so divided?
In a real general sense: Conservatives are in denial that the U.S. is an imperial power acting in its own self-interest PERIOD. Or they recognize this and think it's only natural. It's what people, nations do.
Liberals are in denial about the nature of reality and think they can change the course of human history into something it has never been, peaceful.
Thus for a conservative, for the U.S. to invade another country it is not only good for the U.S. but also good for the invaded country as well (eventually). For a liberal it is somehow bad for both the U.S. and its "victims". Somehow they can't see or are in denial that even the poorest people in this country are enjoying the spoils of war.
