I'll use analogies to make a couple of points:

On the Iraq war - Imagine if you will that Iraq (if they were capable) invaded the USA to knock out our evil President and liberate the people from the chains of Capitalism. They come here and succeed at capturing or killing our President. Would we, as Americans, then celebrate and allow these occupiers to change our country to a new Government? I think not. There would be a massive backlash and even those who do not like this President (a majority I think at this point) would fight back to keep our values, various religions, and freedoms. We would fight and we would fight hard until the invaders left. Is it so hard to imagine another country might do so as well?

On Capitol Punishment - If it were possible to know in advance that the baby you carry would become a violent psychopathic killer and there was nothing we could do about it, would it then be OK to abort that child in the religions that forbid abortion? Most religious people condemn abortion but celebrate capitol punishment. Is there really a difference?

On the Economy - If I applied for every credit card application that came to my mailbox and were accepted and then proceeded to max out all those cards thereby acquiring massive debt and interest fees - would I be considered rich or successful? Would anyone feel sorry for me because I was so stupid to do this? Our nation is run the same way. Through senseless wars lasting years while costing trillions, low exports because of substandard quality, and by sending our jobs overseas, we have maxed out our debt. We are no longer rich or successful (or stable or a super power).
