You mean only Raul Castro's business? Because fuck the people of Cuba. Why should they have a say in their own destiny?!?
What is US doing in Pakistan? Supporting a Failed Marshal and one of the top corrupt governments in the world. Do people of Pakistan have a say in their own destiny?
We want to ensure their bombs do not fall into the hands of the faction in their government that supports terrorism. You're a likely target, you should care.
He didn't ask whether be should care; He asked whether the US should be overruling the opinions of the people of Pakistan.
Your position seems to be that they should, because the US wants to keep the terrorist faction(s) out of power; But this presupposes two things not in evidence:
1) That the Pakistani people do NOT want to keep the terrorist faction(s) out of power; and
2) That the US is competent to keep the terrorist faction(s) out of power, and that her intervention (no matter how well intentioned) won't make things worse, rather than better.
To the extent that 1 is true, 2 becomes far more likely to be false.
The Pax Americana differs from the Pax Britannica that preceeded it in a few ways - The US is a less "hands on" world hegemon than was the British Empire, and this makes her both more dependent on diplomatic, rather than military, influence; And simultaneously less competent in diplomatic activities, because they are less directly embedded in the countries they wish to influence, and as a consequence are less aware of the vitally important subtleties of public opinion in those countries.
Americans seem to imagine that everyone else thinks like an American. This is a very bad mistake, and leads them into a lot of major blunders.
Trump's entire approach to Iran is this writ large. He genuinely cannot comprehend that the IRGC doesn't have a price, and will not do a deal regardless of what is on offer, whether it be carrot or stick, if it compromises their fundamental beliefs.
Central amongst those beliefs is the the US is not, and never will be, their boss.
To get Iran to do what the US wants requires subtlety; They need to be able to maintain the appearance that they are absolutely NOT doing what the US wants.
