Nice.

Of course we are the world's biggest polluter in the world. We are one of the largest countries in the world, and our industrial base is larger than any other country.
We illegally invaded Iraq? How so? I guess the US did the same when it invaded Germany, Korea, and Vietnam? There is no such thing as a "legal" or "illegal" war. And of course the violations of peace treaty didn't give the US "legal" reason to invade Iraq.
We killed tens of thousands of civilians? I haven't seen that figure, but this is the end result of a war. Imagine one hundred and thirty thousand people invading a country the size of California. We are lucky more people didn't die. It's not like we intentionally targeted civilians.
The US did torture people in prison, however, this was a rather small case. The difference between the US and Iraq is that this was a way of life for thousands of people in prision on a daily basis, while the US punished those who did this.
