Okay, let me simplify:
We haven't committed any goddam war crimes. Americans are dying over there, partly because we aren't committing any war crimes. We aren't going to commit any war crimes. We have, in fact, probably prevented hundreds or thousands of Saddam's atrocities simply by being there.
We have a soldier getting courtmartialed for firing his gun into the ground to scare a Baathist thug. We have al-Jazeera getting scandalized because our soldiers are patting down children for weapons.
Crack loose of the 60s. We aren't always the bad guys. I don't understand a psychology that insists that America MUST be the bad guy.
Frankly, the sooner you realize that the vast majority of abuses you accuse Americans of are occurring only between your ears, the better.
