First of all, to Ty Quinn: I hope you're smart enough to see the difference between a humanitarian action, such as stop a decease, and a political intervention, like an invasion to a country that has other values and culture than yours, just because you think they are the "incarnation of evil" or something. I'm talking about, but not only, the Afghanistan war. One thing is try to get Osama, other is bomb a village with a bunch of shepherds who hadn't a f*ckING idea where the World Trade Center is (and I'm not saying "was" because probably they still can't figure it out, being dead and all that).

Second, to 100% Anerican: I guess the only comment I made against your country was that I hate when you use the word "America" just for yourselves. I'm from Argentina, in the continent of America too, so I think of myself as american. If you classify me as south american, then you are north american, not only american, like canadians or mexicans.
And about the destruction of tyranny, I agree, but it has to be by the same people that is opressed by that government, so they could have independent thinking and fight for themselves. Otherwise, it's a country of cowards.
Besides, that doesn't allow you either to desestabilize some regimes called "communists" or "reds" with non direct actions; I have a close example to me, Chile, when crimes against mankind where commited by the same ruler USA helped to take control of the country. ?Remember Costa Gavras'movie, "Missing", with the late (God, how do I love that man's films with Walther Matthau) Jack Lemmon?
