Please exclude the couple of times those naughty Mexicans and the obvious attack on all civilization by the Nazi and Imperial Japan but don't ignore the ear or WW1 or Tripoli. Include the invasions of White Russia. Ignore the "Cold War" it was always wrought by third parties and the USSR was never a real threat; just political jingoism for elections. Include Covert Operations in Chile and Nicaragua and dozens of other States where democraticallly elected governments seek for the common wealth to Nationalise overseas (mainly American) companies which have often cruely exploited the natives. I'm a bit old to do the proper reaseach so please would someone do it for me with verifiable references. I say 50 but I think I/m being generous.

No I'm not Muslim or a Communist but perhaps a "bleeding heart" liberal. To the idea that America only gets "into" other countries when they have to I ask "Have to for what?" .Its obviously to be the richest nation in the World.
But if it's not right to make a gang on your streets and steal from everyone not in your gang then it's not right to maim and kill anyone in the World who disagrees with America on economics, welfare and environmental issues just to steal. I am perhaps weak but I actually cry when I see babies and kids mutilated, starving or dead directly because of America's misuse of it's power. Perhaps Afganistan and WWI hmmmm? I did mention North Africa (marines song "from Mexico to Tripoli)"
But come now good people, perhaps I am lazy (not I'm ill) but I say "50" Is that roughly correct.
