<< No, not the death of arabs. But the removal of an organization that wished to do the US harm. The distiction is quite clear >>
Well, I don't have the time go back into old threads and look for quotes, but I specifically remember many calls to "turn Afghanistan into a lake," which is rejoicing at a bit more than "removing an organization that wished to do the US harm."
Furthermore, can you give me one example (other than Afghanistan, which so far looks okay but is yet to be seen) in American history when the United States has invaded a country and removed the political party from power, and then setup a completely democratic government that was in the best interest of the citizens?
I sure can't...I can think of countless examples of the United States doing the exact opposite, by establishing and/or supporting a regime that is clearly detrimental to the growth of a population but in the best economic interest of the west...Can we say Shah of Iran?
