I just get pissed at people constantly putting the US in such bad light when all over the world real tyranny happens. You ever hear of Darfur? Or the wars of Sudan? Was that the fault of the US too? The rapes by the thousands? The genital mutilations? That is the fault of the US?
And the Kurds getting gassed by Saddam is not that far in the past. I didn' ...[text shortened]... did that, totally ignoring people like Idi Amin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin and all their pals.
The US repeatedly puts itself in a "bad light". In both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars the US was the aggressor. True or not true?

I guess all that means nothing to you. It turns out there are societies whose existence is a cancer on the world. I assume you think its ok for them to drive societies back into the tenth century with their savage sharia laws that should have been banned a thousand years ago.

You would do nothing but let all that go on and country after country like Syria now seeming to be under the control of Al quida. No big deal, right?

Do you honestly believe that the US invaded Afghanistan for those reasons? If so, how do you reconcile that belief with the US having not only allowed atrocities in other countries, but having supported countries perpetrating atrocities? Or of the US committing atrocities of its own?
The US repeatedly puts itself in a bad light whether or not you want to admit it.

As shocking and sad the Connecticut shootings were, it boggles the mind that the thousands of innocent children killed and maimed in the Iraq/Afghanistan wars by the mighty USA are less sensational. Could it be that the value of a child's life varies according to nationality and/or financial status?

Some people seem to quickly get amnesia on this website.
The USA was attacked on September 11, 2001 which resulted in the murder of about 3000 people. The President and congress of the USA decided the USA needed to respond quickly against the aggressors. Various intelligence sources initially indicated that the Islamist militant group al-Qaeda was responsible and were being supported by the Taliban in Afghanistan and that Saddam Hussein in Iraq may also be involved. The suspicion that Iraq may have or be able to quickly produce weapons of mass destruction and put in the hands of al-Qaeda became a priority to prevent.
