You responded to my comment, but failed to answer my question.
Why "especially" the USA?

And this is all right with you? The fact that he gases hundreds of his own people, does mass executions, raping etc is okay by you?
Being a threat to his neighbors, when he does *this* to his own people, is all right with you?
We should just leave him alone?
If he'll do this to his own people, think of what he'd do to his neighbors.
By your reasoning though, this is of no matter - we should just leave him alone and only worry about him when/if he gets to be the size of... what, the USA?

The real bully is the USA. Are you really that blinded by nationalism and waving flags that you can't see why most of the rest of the world sees your country as a greedy, agressive bully?

We're going in to take out a murderous raping dictator and his regime, and we're the bully.
No, I really *can't* see why the rest of the world views us as a bully for doing that. Explain it to me. The alternative is to allow his actions to continue threatening both his own people and his neighbors - at least, until he can launch those SCUDS that he didn't have yet launched at the troops on the Kuwait border a little further - and we are supposed to just sit back and accept the alternative?

Maybe you need to go live in another country for a while?

If I do, would I become suddenly enlightened as to why a murderous dictator and his regime is the good guy worthy of world protests and the country that destroys that regime and frees the people is the "bully"?
