The irony being of course that it was never us that tortured Detainees.
of course not. we just paid for it. and killed thousands upon thousands upon thousands of civilians in the last decade. and redefined enemy combatant so that half the civilians killed in drone strikes wouldn't be called that. and invaded a country without casus belli.
we aren't an evil empire. honest.
Except that we've maybe only killed a few hundred, and even if we did kill a few thousand
we did kill a few thousand. something like seven thousand. in the initial invasion of iraq alone. a period of time that covered about a month.
and we've been at war for more than a decade.

it would still be less, way less, than WWII with a country that is larger, has more powerful weapons, was making VX gas etc.
and has never attacked the USA. and was not supporting terrorists.

Saddam Hussein was oppressing his people, drastically, and had legitimate concentration camps, among other things.
The fact that 99.99% of the civilians remain alive, woman are treated decently now, hell men are treated decently now and can vote, that they can defend themselves?
As horrific and awful and terrible as it would be, we killed a lot more in WWII and that was justified. How would this not be?

we were attacked in world war two.
we had no casus belli in the iraq war.

A few hundred accidental deaths aren't the same as purposely killing millions, and gassing hundreds of thousands like Saddam Hussein.
we have killed far more civilians in iraq than just a few hundred.

It was never our intention, at all. But even if it was a few thousand accidental deaths, it wouldn't be that bad. In the grand scheme of things, compared to all the good we did, and compared to previous saving entire country wars, I'd say we're doing even better than ever.
in the grand scheme of things, the entirety all casualties in world war two doesn't matter.

As sad as it is to kill anyone, even terrorists, the entire event was justified and while we weren't perfect, for the most part, even if you believe in the thousands statistic, as horrible as it is, it's still not the makings of an evil empire.
That also wouldn't make us and empire, though.
We'd need a colony first. xp

are you actually this ignorant? you don't need to have a colony in place to have control over an area.
