But you do have to have a rather "creative" conscience
to do it with a straight face, having even a remote
idea of certain trends in our foreign policy. A
victory over imperialism is something to be
celebrated, however, some of us have a rather bad
taste in out mouths considering "independence" is
something people outside of Walmart and our borders
deserve and a quick run down the list of Dictators on
the United States' payroll (past and present) leads us
to a conflist. That is unless other races do not
deserve independence.
quoted 1 line stop taking cheap shots at the united states,

I suppose it is also a cheap shot to point out that
the mustard gas used against the Kurds by Saddam in
1988 (that is, before he was 'evil') was part of a
military aid package supplied by the United States,
which kept coming well after these disgusting actions.
Hell, we even gave him agricultural aid in light of
the crops ruined by this gas attack.
This is, mind you, the same attack that was, time and
time again, thrown up at us as the end all be all
reason to take him out. Disgusting propaganda
understood by anyone who actually takes the time to
look into the history.
But that point is so cheap it is not even worth
mentioning, right?

Kind of like how Howard Zinn looks ridiculus next to
such modern day jingoist intellects as Sean Hannity
or, bless her ego, Ann Coulter.
God bless America.
