@snood,
If I may attempt:
I think his/her (camlok) point is, most of us just plain don't want to get bogged down into US international war crimes or aggression discussions. He/she probably knows if he/she devoted a thread to it, it would die out from lack of discussion. Not sure why, there are a lot of people who seem to agree with him/her on the subject of the US war crimes/aggression.
In terms of comparison, the US is a relative newer nation. If you look at the beginnings of other nations, they were probably just as aggressive too. I read a lot of medieval novels and if the histories are correct on most of them, all the European countries were pretty aggressive in those days. I also see his point about the US mixing ourselves up with the ME all the time and interfering with those countries.
In any event, this discussion of which I am actually intellectually ignorant really don't belong on this thread and in my opinion camlok should "cease and desist." (laugh at myself, don't really use that language in real life..)
