So non-US citizens should keep their mouths shut, and not bother you with these things, because it's none of their business ?

But you see, Ice, when you play cop of the world, the others DO care what's going on in your own backyard. Because you DO get involved - remember the thread that showed in how many countries there are US and UK troops ?
The US one was covering a huge percentage of the globe. Yes, I know, some of those cases involve very few soldiers, but that's not the point, the point is that the US does get involved pretty much everywhere.

You don't have the moral right to get YOUR nose in other people's business, but tell them to stay away when they get interested in what's going on in your own courtyard.
If you want isolationism, that's fine, you're perfectly entitled to it. But that also implies you don't stick your nose into other countries' businesses.


Back on topic.
Rabbit: an honest question for you, because I am truly puzzled that you of all people (meaning, non-extremist views, does research on posts, very much coherent and logical) are stating that all is pink in the land of the free. Please tell me, and I am not being sarcastic in this, do you truly believe that the American people have as many rights, and as much freedom as they had, say, 10 or 15 years ago ?
