Why is the American government/ Empire so keen on war all the time?

#1. There are alot of people on this world so, many can hate America with others loving it. Also, prove? Or is that patriotic nonsense!?

#2 No of course not, I never justified them but i'm not sure if another war will solve anything. The west has to work with the ordinary Iraqis and Syrians to disband ISIS. Blindly bombing whatever the fuck you like would be counter productive. Any action made must be to improve the lives of people and their wellbeing so they won't be compelled to go to the likes of ISIS. 

Also how do you expect to beat ISIS when your country couldn't beat the Taliban? 

Also abit rich saying about ISIS massacring people. The US government has supported some nasty leaders/ regimes over the years who were almost as bad or just as bad as ISIS. Pol Pot, Pinochet, Suharto, Saddam Hussein, Batista, Armas,  South African Apartheid to name a few. The US government has overthrown anyone who it disagrees with. Some were justified but the people the US backed were nearly always worse 

#3 And the problem with that is that only makes the problems worse. The situation in alot of the countries was shit to begin with. Drone strikes only destroy whatever is left. That radicalises people as the system failed them. 

Also, as far as i know ISIS never attacked America but probably will soon if they get provoked. 

I say give these people (ordinary citizens of the Middle East not ISIS) jobs and allow them to have a better standard of living not war. 

Also, don't you find it weird that one year ago the US government wanted to topple Assad's Regime in Syria but now has to work with him to try to end ISIS somehow?

a) Will a war solve anything?  It already saved Kurdistan from a masscre.  I really wish some of those families who barily survived the ISIS onslaught were next to you right now so you could tell them that maybe they would have been ok without America's help.

b) Yeah the U.S.  has supported some shitty people.  Who hasn't?  What is your point?  "America did bad things before so whawwww!"  Let the past be the past.  

c)  What country are you from?  Just for comparison's sake.

3) LOL now you are losing me.  Give these people jobs?  Ok let me wave my magic job wand.  It isn't that simple bud.  Also we still don't like Assad, and you know we didn't like the Soviet Union during WWII.  But guess what?  The Nazi's and ISIS are worse.  DUH.

1. Not suprising when American culture is in most people's faces alot of the time

2a. I just think America has to be careful with its foreign policy. Intervention can be justified and stuff like saving the Yazidis and Kurds from the rath of ISIS was clearly justified. Doesn't mean bombing is the only solution. The Americans must work with these people rather than dictate policy from a far away office who have no real clue of the situation. 

2b. I can't ignore the past because the actions that were done in the past are why some areas are so messed up today. We can't forget the past no matter how hard we try. We must learn from it

2c. The UK. Whats your point? If it's about what my country we did in the past in it's empire we were just as bad. It's why i'm not a patriot, nothing really to be proud of. 

3. Politics is unfortunately full of it. Work with people you hate to destroy someone you hate even more and then backstab the people you worked with. Its disgraceful but politics is like this.
