Furthermore, America was trashed and thrown mud at the world over when we attacked Iraq and Afghanistan. 


And USA did not deserve that? Hey the world was just using free voice..Something that you talk in your post so postive about but also negative kind of strange..

Anyway I am pretty sure that the people who complained the most about the war in Iraq and were marching on the streets of Washington were not some idiots from Europe ;).

80% of Americans supported the invasions when they happened. When war was authorized, it passed notable margins in the congress and senate.

My point was that we were thrown in the mud for what we did (and rightfully so), now the shoe is on the other foot, and it seems that Europe is happy to be in the position its taking. My arguments should resonate to the fact that unless a country is directly attacking you or an ally that you have previously signed mutual defense treaties with, you should not be involved - no proxy wars, no NFZ's, and so on.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
