That basically sums up my views on it too. But some cowboys has to continue their ego trip.

Not to insult your parent, but it sound like Mom doesn't believe in learning from mistakes. Her comparison is correct, but there is no justification for the U.S. to keep re-expexperiencing the same stupidity and interference in other countries.
We assassinated Diem and Hussein (I won't fault the logic in deposing them), and then we supported a Democratic take over in both countries. But then we stayed beyond the original mission and screwed up royally - in both countries.
