You are pretty close to crossing a line beyond which I can feel no slightest respect for your positions or your feelings. At the very best, you are dispalying an unseemly and arrogant sort of jingoism.
What happens when I cross the line and you stop feeling the slightest respect for my positions and feelings? Is that when I find out what leftysergeant leftism is really all about? Is that when I lose my freedom of speech and everything? Is that when you really begin to oppress me instead of merely badgering me?
Oh, and how many of history's bloodiest wars did the U.S. start?
And how many of history's bloodiest wars was the U.S. instrumental in ending?
And what expansionist designs of what evil, murderous empire were stymied by the U.S.?
You'll need to come up with some tricky answers to those questions for your position to have any credibility whatsoever.
Bull flops. Spanish American War, Phillipine Occupation, banana wars in Central America. All for the profit of corporate interests under the guise of defending somebody else's right to have a decent government (defined as one of which we approved.)
Check. U.S. had no right to venture outside it's own borders. Not even to defend the property of U.S. citizens abroad.
BTW, by your own treatment, those were not interventions in the sense of the U.S. post-WWII interventionist policy to which I was clearly referring, and some were almost bloodless. Thus your dodge is irrelevant to my outline of the results of the interventionist policy the U.S. pursued after WWII, which you conveniently ignored because you have no argument.
How many governments of which the U.S. disapproves do you consider to be "decent"? How many "decent" governments do you feel the U.S. has overthrown since WWII? I want to see if there is any correlation in your claims.
They really hadn't much choice in the matter, did they?
What's your point? Should the U.S. have intervened and set up a democratic government in Egypt? Remember, you already nixed that, back a few posts when it was momentarily convenient for you to demand that the U.S. stay entirely out of other countries' affairs, no matter what they're doing. Plus, you've already been screeching like a wounded banshee about Iraq for a decade. So how would you, leftiesergeant, moral arbiter of Amerikkka, go about correcting the Egyptians lack of choice, now that the Egyptians lack of choice has conveniently, almost majically, become Amerikkka's fault?
