What you say is like Stalin's Russia, they call their Patriot Act.
It is just their culture, and their beliefs.
From their point of view, what may seem to somebody else like just a business matter, they are taught that this is their duty and their fate.
They used to call it "Manifest Destiny." Anyway, this is not really the place to discuss all of that.
The point is that you can watch ten movies from ten different countries, and you will be able to find at least ten different perspectives that may be different from the one you have.
