Conservative and libertarian critics of the the Iraq war do not specifically pick on this one occurrence or this one particular administration.

But you do keep posting screeds from America (and free-liberal civilization) hating, pro-totalitarian leftists (who do focus their invective on "one particular adminstration"). Why's that?

Leftist have their own agenda in criticizing US policy - it's Republican policy they don't like. You should however understand that conservatives and libertarians who criticize foreign policy is no different than say you criticizing domestic policy - that's assuming there is something that the government does that you don't like. So are you an America hater because you want to reduce the size and power of government? If you don't consider yourself (or this web site) as America hating then don't apply it to those who see our liberal/globalist foreign policy as a danger to our liberties and security.

As for your list of countries we went to war with you sound like the opening lines of the old superman TV show "truth, justice and the American way." Makes one all teary eyed with pride that does but you obviously don't look very close to the actual events or consider the grand strategic and economic benefits behind the moves. The Gulf War One we had no legitimate business initiating and Afghanistan and Gulf War Two directly stem from it, as does the terrorist attacks on us that occurred since then.

Just a note on Panama. Did you know that Noriega was a CIA asset up till we decided to take him out? Do you think shangi- ing him back to the US to prosecute him, a foreigner, in US courts with US domestic laws which have no jurisdiction over Panama citizens activities in Panama was a just move? So why did we we take out "our" man? Because he became uncooperative and the canal was vital to our security? Then why did we allow it to be handed over the Chinese if it was so vital to us we went to war for it?
