Yes, we killed 200,000+ Iraqis in the first Gulf War and killed at least 1,000,000 via our cruel sanctions and killed probably 100,000 more this time around. We do Americans have such a hard time accepting the utter immorality of our foreign policy. We're not doing this to Iraq for Camels.

A side by side comparison of the U.S. vs. China military involvement in the past 50 years would be interesting.

The U.S. has invaded many time more countries than China in this time period.

Cuba isn't even worth comparing. They have enough problems of their own, to invade another country.

What other country is sending troops half way around the world and agressively attacking other countries? None other than the U.S.

Look, I love the U.S. as much as the next guy. But, our militarism has gotten way out of hand, especially since the end of the cold war, now that we don't have a major adversary to keep us in check. I just hate to see our country crumble from within as we use our military to destroy other countries. The U.S. ranks way down on many lists of quality of life. It shouldn't be that way. We are the richest nation on earth, we should start acting like it. No reason why our infrastructure should receive a D rating.
