The numbers that we armed did not produce big areas of color.
So as long as we are fighting people who are evil, we can never do anything wrong? Sorry to exaggerate but that is exactly how you are coming off. Fighting evil with evil doesn't equal good UT.

But, I mean, we can never do anything wrong. I mean we dropped two atomic bombs on Japan to save lives right? (hint: no)

I don't know how you take my attitude as, but I do not think America is good but I do not think it is pure evil either. There is always some balance. The United States is not a "good" country, those do not exist, we are only protecting our interests like every other country in this world. We just have the power to do it more covertly.

That you really feel that way is truly sad.
