Man, you really hate America. No denying it. The comment I made was in reference to Iraq. And I was right. And what about Korea? Vietnam? Cambodia? Latin America? We were fighting Communist aggressors, which slaughtered over 100M people over the last century. Thank God our side won the Cold war. Cuba? Huh, we didn't invade Cuba. Unless you're counting when it was part of the Spanish empire. Panama? Dictator removed. You're welcome. Japan? Responding to their attack on us. Reagan gave Saddam his full support Hardly. Saddam was principally armed by the USSR, China, and France. We were minor players. We only got involved at all because Iran was considered a larger threat at the time. he only country that has killed more innocent* people - civilians - in modern history than the United States of America is....Hitler's Germany.* Nah, you're forgetting the USSR and Communist China. For that matter, the Japanese empire slaughtered tens of millions of Chinese. Funny you didn't mention them. Re. the Philippines, I would agree we should have set them free ... to be colonized by Japan or Britain. At the time, that's what would have happened, for sure. And if it had, you could blame America for that too.
