Another controversial action can easily occur when Idealists try and intervene Internal Affairs and,  by try to protect one part, initially another state of Internal Affairs will be violated.

2.Covert action is controversial because everything is done behind the public’s back. When the U.S. conducted the operation to kill Osama Bin Laden it wasn’t a guarantee that he was even there; only a good probability. The mission was a success, but what we don’t know is the other operations that haven’t been successful. If the public found out of operations that have been failure’s; it will cause an out roar

The other issue is the operations that were risky; such as during the Reagan administration they provide arms to Afghan rebels. They were able to repel the Soviets, but the end result they kept these guns. Covert aid can be lead to other problems down the road; an example of this is looking at today’s current problem with ISIS.
