But in proposed answer to my own question, we also seem to love hostility. We have generally outlawed dog and cock fights, and bull fights, but we still have a shocking abundance of civilian-owned guns (the major cause of death in minors of all ages and in suicides), we sort of complain about, but don't really do anything about, deaths gratuitously caused by police, we can't bring ourselves to give up capital punishment, unfairly imposed as it is (that might be its most appealing feature), and we have are most generous in supporting what Ron describes as "brutal entit[ies] with absolutely no interest in protecting human beings." I suspect Ron is wrong when he says "neither one deserves to be supported by the US." In fact, considering what's wrong with us, those two are indeed the most deserving. "Brutal entit[ies] with absolutely no interest in protecting human rights" are very much right up our street.
