You flat out said that America was far and wide the worst Human Rights violator on the face of the Earth. This is CATAGORICALLY false. I am not blind to atrocities that the US has been involved in, I acknowledge them and try to learn from them. Getting involved in the Afghan-Soviet War was not a mistake, not helping with the reconstruction was the mistake.
The countries that you speak of would have fallen to the Soviet Union, and perhaps, that evil empire would still be around, which would be awful. One of the best things to happen in the 90's was the fall of the Soviet Union, and the extinguishment of Communism. The world is better off leaving that failed social experiment behind. Our mistakes in these conflicts was siding with whoever was against the Communists, not picking our allies better, but at the time we were under the threat of Nuclear Annihilation, both us, and the Soviets were in constant fear that the other would launch a surprise attack and the world would be reduced to rubble. It is easy to sit back and wax rhetorical now, but put yourself in the context of the times, the threat of Soviet expansion was real, and their intentions were to set up shop in the Western hemisphere for easier access to the US. A large base in South America would have meant Soviet troops had land to travel to the US, not two Oceans. America did what it had to at the time, looking back, do I regret that extremes were taken? Absolutely, but America is not always wrong, your blind hatred of our country informs all of your opinions.
