I'm sorry Christie, but 'America' is perceived as such, as in the democracy that America claims to be and bring to the world, governments are the representatives of the people. When America goes to war, it is factually 'The People of The United States of America' by the letter of the law and every single principle of democratic government.
When I would assume, and the rest of the world too, that it is not 'America' invading countries for their resources but an entity named 'The American Government' with no approval of the people, this implicated that 'America' is ruled not by a democratic system but by a dictatorial regime which does not represent 'the people'.
Now what is it?
