Let us all not too easily regard contributions to this and other debates as 'anti-this or anti-that'. People simply express their opinion, with on the whole little to no malice intended.

This thread is not an exercise in anti-Americanism, or even criticism of its policy. It is about 'reversing' some commonly held opinions, with some peskyness thrown in to see if it can create a fresh perspective and see if it makes me, or others, have different intuitive ideas about what is justice and what not.
(And also to remind people of just why America fought, and against who.)
