[QUOTE="Buddhaman, post: 3541496, member: 12404"] The trouble with that list is how many of those situations did we set up for ourselves? When other countries elected someone we didn’t like and the CIA helped out a regime swap? We did it in the Middle East, South America, and even parts of Asia to have “our guy” in charge. Who then went power crazy or took of their veil and turned on us. If we hadn’t been meddling in the rest of the world there’s no saying how bad or good things would be now. I was always a fan of isolationism prior to WWI since it kept our troops home. Then we became the world police. And covert ops worked in the background to try and influence or change what we didn’t like. Other than WWII being a just fight, I don’t feel any of the actions we have taken with troops has been justified enough to for any of them to die on foreign soil. [/QUOTE]
