Every single poll ever conducted? So you are telling me that the Iraqi's I spoke to were lying because your poll says so? I will admit that my friends dealt mostly with Iraqi's that were allowed within U.S. controlled ares so the opinions they got were slewed. Many polls are taken from specific groups achieving a slewed result.

The majority of civilians killed as a direct result of U.S. action were killed by splash damage from bombing. This does not change the fact that most civilian deaths in Iraq have been caused by insurgent actions. The last I checked car bombs and roadside bombs were not in the U.S. arsenal.

Explain why. How are they not the same. Because you choose to ignore the similar points? They are more alike than you seem to think.

We have a strong military and everything needed to liberate countries under oppression, but what gives us that right? Sure, it's the good thing to do, but to put so much responsibility on ourselves? And along with weakening ourselves, we weaken the people we try to save, taking away life's challenges handed to them. Instead of trying to save every country being dictated, the people of those countries need to rise up and above the oppression, and they will benefit more from taking matters into their own hands rather than having us do it for them.

Finally, after 7 pages, somebody actually address what I posted first. Somebody actually voiced an opinion about my first post.
Where was our right interfering in Europe during WW1 or WW2? We were attacked by Japan, our war was in the Pacific. What about Korea? The list goes on.
Turning a blind eye was what allowed Nazi Germany to gain so much ground before we stepped in to help. Turning a blind eye is what allowed Nazi Germany to murder 10 million Jews. Turning a blind eye is what allowed Japan to murder 17 million "lesser" Asians. History repeats itself when ignored.
