Current Events » in reply to A century of US military interventions

That's a pretty broad definition of "intervention"

It's hard to read through the jumbled formatting, but on a skim I caught items listed such as the bombing of the USS Cole, and establishment of military bases with the permission of the host country. Not that subtracting maybe 10% that stretched the point really diminishes the impression that we've been busy beavers for the last century or so.

I read somewhere recently somebody making the assertion that the United States is far and away the most belligerent nation to have ever existed; that nobody has ever been at war as frequently and as many times as we have. Maybe so.

Funny how we like to think of ourselves as "peace loving".
