Was it toppling Iran's democracy in the 1950s?
Propping up dictatorships in Egypt and Jordan?
Selling Iran missiles during the Iran-Iraq war?
"Liberating" the Kuwaiti dictatorship during the Gulf War?
Killing over a million Iraqis with sanctions?

Princess, which country contains the "free people" we have liberated who no longer have to worry about getting killed by terrorists at a moment's notice? You can't possibly be talking about Iraq.

ddey, let's take a look at your answers.
-what business does the US have toppling any democracy?
-we are propping up dictatorships in Egypt and Jordan NOW.
-so selling missiles to Iran is a good thing?
-if it's okay to have a Kuwaiti dictatorship, why not an Iraqi one?
-it was America that killed them. Saddam complied with the UN and destroyed his WMD.
-all of the people were killed because Bush lied about WMD.

Let's take a look at your accusations:
"Was it toppling Iran's democracy in the 1950s?"
A "democracy" we thought was leaning towards communism.
"Propping up dictatorships in Egypt and Jordan?"
The USSR propped them up. We just agreed to support them because they were leaning away from starting Arab-Israeli Wars.
"Selling Iran missiles during the Iran-Iraq war?"
Only to trade for hostages that the Hezbollah kidnapped. Iran & Syria created the Hezbollah!
"Liberating" the Kuwaiti dictatorship during the Gulf War?"
This WAS a liberation. Saddam Hussein conquered the country for it's own oil and empire, the very thing that the left falsely accues US of.
"Killing over a million Iraqis with sanctions?"
It was Saddam who killed them with his own greed.
"Killing 650,000 more with illegal war?"
Crock of ****! Most of the people you accuse us of killing are killed by the jihadist factions and Saddam Loyalist that people like you THINK are "the resistance."

Define the good guy as each side fights for what they believe to be right .Is to takeover and divide the right way to build a commonwealth or occupy a country for financial purposes.Destroy an empire because of control for that territory .Why was Turkey attacked in the first world war as for control of the middle east's oil?Ask who is right?

We have done lots of good things, the smartest was installing a military base right in the middle of muslim lands, (Israel) We can keep them weak, and un-united. This war is a really good war for americas elite, they are making billions and the future is secure from muslim equality, those infidels need to be repressed... Hopefully we can beat them down until they convert to christianity.... then THEIR souls will be saved.....America is such a wonderful instrument of God.... and God wants them to be christian,,,, and if they arent then kill em all, we have no need for that life anyway.....

Um, they are actually taking ACTION over there instead of running around like a bunch of pansies because "talking" won't work for them. Wow, I can't believe this question was just asked. There should be a rule on YA about idiotic questions.
What would you do over there? Oh, wait, sorry, you liberals don't take any action or get anything accomplished. My bad.

liberating kuwait was a good idea. Saddam is pretty bad.
I do agree we have a poor record over there.

For one, we have helped free people who were under the rule of terrorists who could kill them at a moment's notice.
