That's not just criticizing policy, it's criticizing the essence of what this country has stood for in the world for the past century.........bringing freedom to those who have been opporessed by empire building enemies.
We have met the enemy, and it is NOT us. Sorry you don't agree with that.
I have an old book written at the time of the Spanish American War that speaks proudly of our new teritories and about our becoming through our victories whatever you want to call it.
