rightsided asked: Yes, because Americans fighting communism and to restore the Republic (and America values) is exactly the same as the terrorist organizations (taliban, al qaeda, hamas, and so on) who use child soldiers, murder civilians, fight attempts to build infrastructure (including schools and hospitals), and attempt to force sharia law onto the regions are the exact same thing. Mhmm.

(I promise, dear readers, that this is the last one) …

So, people get to resist foreign invasions when you agree with them, but they don’t get to resist foreign invasions when you don’t agree with them?

By the way, I imagine you might find some Pakistanis and Yemenis whose children have been killed in American drone strikes who have a less generous interpretation of American motives and methods than the ones you outline …
