Seems like the United States benefits when it's in conflict with itself because then both parties can play the victim and shift the blame to the other side. However, this attempt to divide the people results in real people being harmed due to the incompetence of our Governments. Instead of taking the blame, they pass it responsibility onto the people. It's easier to play the blame game than it is to do your job as a leader.

They want power, anything that stands in their way is a problem.
