They hate us for being; yet we're the first to be asked to clean up some idiots mess.
Yet it's not really that at all. Pretty egocentric to think that the US is behind all the military planning here. They're certainly doing some of the military heavy lifting but the mission is most likely being coordinated by the Euro powers. They're perfectly capable of this.

Besides, the US has sort of forced itself into a periphery position here. Obama acting without congressional approval sort of lends itself to the idea that it's not going to be a particularly long lived involvement.
