It is not surprising to me. If you read over this entire thread you'll see that I acknowledge that the US has blood on its hands but I also argue that we have made considerable progress in foreign policy particularly with regard to how we treat civilian casualties. This, and the critical difference of 'intent,' is something conveniently ignored by those who want to hand-wave away the difference between the foreign policy of Western countries and the actions of extremists who indiscriminately murder un-armed civilians routinely and without warning. It is a false equivalence.

- justin66 11y agoI'm not an ideologue at all, although there's nothing wrong with that. I'm just annoyed by people who pontificate at length about historical matters of which they are ignorant.
