I will support friends across the Middle East who share our values, but need help defending them and their sovereignty against our common enemies.

These are just some excerpts from the entire speech.
Some of his statements really give me the chills, like the 'who share our values'...

As for "Share are values... Obama has said the same thing... and what's chilling about wanting to support people who are for Democracy, Woman's Rights and the like

I'd like to say: mind your own business? First make sure America is up to your own standard and then try to persuade by example others to adopt your values. Instead of forcing them unto unwilling people.
Common enemies? Defending the values that some 'friends' share in the Middle east? So a different opinion on matter makes one an enemy by default since it's not the 'value' you cherish?
And the chilling part is that I've seen America intervene in countries where they had no right being, making things worse.
Just saying that that is very very far from my values... But hey, I hold no power luckily.
