1. True, the French did help us in the War of Independence. However, America has helped (or tried to help) France in The Napoleonic Wars, World War I, World War II, and Vietnam.

2. I suppose then, that Britain (Rev. War, War of 1812), Mexico (Mexican War), Spain (Spanish American War), Germany (World War I, World War II), Italy (World War II), Japan (World War II), and Iraq (Both Gulf Wars- in the first one, they had the 4th largest army in the world) were all poor countries?

3. A clear majority of the American people supported the war in Iraq.

4. True, we did support Pinochet but to understand that you must look at the US policy of containment at that time. Our priority was to protect ourselves by containing communism, and Allende was an outright communist. However, when Pinochet's human rights violations became apparent, we no longer supported him but rather supported the UK's arrest and prosecution of the vile dictator.

5. The liberty statue (or Statue of Liberty as we call it) has nothing to do with liberalism. The only thing in common is the first 5 letters.

6. Communism is the worst possible government for the people; for evidence, look at EVERY communist government in history (true, other governments are abusive but a large majority of democracies praise human rights).

7. Democracy and capitalism coincide. He who has the greatest degree of freedom in government also has the greatest degree of freedom in the market.

8. Give me one instance of America killing 6 million people in a brutal act of genocide.

9. The Patriot Act only harms those who seek to do harm to others. It has NO effect on law-abiding citizens.

10. Provide evidence that we are the greatest producer of torture tools.

11. We have never tortured prisoners there to death; we "abused" them (keep in mind, this was a separate incident and does NOT reflect American values).

12. In the government, we have a thing called classified information. It is information that, if leaked, jeopardizes US security. And, what a surprise, after those photos are published an American is beheaded.
