Ethnocentric? You pulled that one right out of the ole left wing ass. Uh, your view is very oriented toward sex with farm animals.
We pulled out of Vietnam too early but outdid them militarily many times over, we liberated Kuwait in Desert Storm (That isn't shit???????), and Iraq now has a democracy and the people have rights, unlike before. We liberated Afghanistan just eight years ago. Democracy in the heart of the Middle East gives a great deal of hope for their future and ours.
My points that you did not counter still stand.

I am sure you are talking about waterboarding, which I have told you many times before is only the threat of torture and is a threat that can be called off by giving up necessary information that saves innocent lives. We have only waterboarded three people. My heart aches for the poor terrorists.
