Iraq defied UN sanctions for 11 years. It fired on Coalition planes that were on patrol over Iraq etc...
Afghanistan, among other things was a haven for training terrorists, and it was supplying most of the opium for heroine in the world.
Vietnam was a Communist thorn in the worlds side. And was killing it's own people by the thousands.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we were at war with Japan. They attacked America first. The first bomb was dropped and Japan still refused to surrender so we dropped the second one. Thousands of American lives were saved in doing so.
And just who in the hell are you to judge any one?

This isnt a "American" issue rather it is a government issue. The majority of Americans DO NOT approve of King George Bush. America is a melting pot of an incredible array of different ethnicities and for the most part we all get along. It is when an imperial government style takes over and the quest becomes power and money that real Americans get grouped with the governments way of thinking.
This is true of today, however the Hiroshimo incident however unfortunate in its consequences is a completely different situation as the Japanese chose to attack an American civility when they had up until the bombing of Pearl harbor chose to not participate in WWll until that fateful day. Americans today would feel the same way about the current wars that they are engaged if the mission were to eliminate Al-Queda and Osama Bin Laden (post 911) but they clearly have used it as an excuse to attack others instead of a means to eliminate a hate group from killing innocents.
