I come from brasil.
In hte 1960's, we had a coup here that installed a army regime that lasted 26 years, with over 5,000 people tortured and killed in the end (we were the lucky ones, some other countries had ten times this number)
So what a surprose when in hte 80's the CIA released documents from that time that detailed a task force to invade brasil in case the coup didnt go as planned. They even funded the military.
Now... I can make the distinction of the times, and hate only they govt at that time for what happened. The problem is the american govt and many americans fail to accept responsability for these kind of actions their govt took. Thats all we ask, respect. I know any of you are to blame and there are few plp in the US govt today that had a hand in this, but just to nuderstand that the "morals and values" go with the interest of the time, and its nmo different today.

Whats the difference of what happned to my country then, and attack Iraq on such weak basis ? Surew you can argue, like most plp always do, that he was an evil dictator and bla bla bla, but when you totally ignore the U.N abd do your own thing, and 2 years later asks for their help to secure the region, you are admitting something was wrong.

when Iraq is "liberated"years from now, do you really think people will praise the U.S as liberators, or people will work to attack you again, using htis invasion as a reason?
How many will be killed then?
