The United states government disagrees with you.

To be fair the American government acts like an enemy to most of its people too.

Why? People are openly dissident in the US.

You realize that many Americans don't want our country meddling in the affairs of others, right? We are powerless to stop it.

Probably the same reason why people in the USA are screaming democracy?

it's abit hard to imagine the domestic opinion in America...also is it hard to imagine a government doing something against its people's will?

This is about the US wanting to have a say in what those people do in the US.

People don't think this sort of thing can happen in the US. Just look at what the federal, state and local government does to people it doesn't like now.
