The world is in a much fairer, more stable and more co-operative state NOW than it was during WW2. The arguable horrors of modern warfare also don't really correspond with the undeniable atrocities of the two great wars. You're trying to turn this thread into a generalized scald at America, and if you can't see that, you need to take a step back.

Really. Over one million people have died in Iraq. Why is it any different from the Nazis killing the Jews? Everyone agrees that what the Nazis did was wrong, then why are we not stopping the killing in Iraq? I fail to see how it's any different.

and this just basically sums up exactly why you need to take a step back from this argument and reconsider your entirely thoughtless words. Godwin's Law. Over a million people may have died in Iraq, but that death toll is not the sole responsibility of the American army. They are NOT herding innocent civilians to death camps with the view to commit genocide. You undermine the incredible suffering of the victims of the holocaust with your gauche comparisons.

And now your argument is just ridiculous. At least two of those countries aren't AT war, and any unrest there is internal and entirely unrelated to America. And LOL, according to your argument, the rest of the world shouldn't interfere anyway. Let them get on with it!
