As for a MORAL difference - no, none, zippoh. In either case it was a matter of patriots willing to scorch the earth of the enemy in defense of the fatherland's principles. The USA engaged in total ideological warfare just as gamely as the Bad Guys.
I am unashamed to derive the material and social benefits of living in the land of the winners. I don't think we're any better than the other guys.
