By any reasonable standard of measure, the US currently must be regarded as the most savage, violent and imperialistic of the advanced nations.
If any other country in the world had killed as many millions as we have in the last 30 years, they would certainly be considered so.
The U.S. needs a massive mirror and a few years to spend peering into it.

5. As I said several years ago |

the only reason American public support for the Iraq war collapsed was because of American casualties. I do not believe that Americans ever gave a fig about civilians being killed.

6. I'm even more cynical than that. |

I think it was the cost of the war in money that collapsed the support of it.
