I guess I did miss that. Good on you.
I guess it sounded to me like you thought the position of world policeman was somehow good and necessary. |

In terms of crimes against other nations, indeed, but in terms of their own people, these countries are pretty good. North Korea and Iran, whilst having not comitted many crimes against other countries, have comitted crimes against their own people.

Capitalism and racial segregation are enourmous crimes against the own population. Iranians are far better off than americans on the average, nowadays. Of course the situation was different during the shah's rule, where the organized theft of iran's natural resources by anglo-saxon companies was enforced by a puppet butcher dictator on america's payroll. |

Anglo Saxon companies? This theft was carried out in the 800s, was it, when the Anglo Saxons ruled? Learn something new every day...
