Important to watch. There are still a few neo-cons in this section, who I won't mention by name, who just cannot understand the concept of blowback and how an interventionist foreign policy taken by the United States put us in more danger and harms our national security.

B... B... But... Blame America first crowd and greatest country god has ever blessed the earth with and why do you hate America and Neville Chamberlain and appeasement and people like you just want to understand and hold hands with terrorists and American exceptionalism and we must protect Isreal because they are our greatest allie ever and you think we deserved 911 and 911 denier and global caliphate and the Bush doctrine and Bush kept us safe and a strong offense is the best defense and no problem in the world that a hug can't solve and Rush Limbaugh said and America is inherently good so by extension anything we do is good and moral relativism and... and... and... Just predicting where this thread will go...
I was going to attempt to turn the thread in the direction of the Obama adoption of Bushian rhetoric towards Iran, with identical support from Republicans and Democrats on the issue of economic sanctions and military force against Iran. The 8" of scrolling through your post tired me out though, so I'll just leave you to your self-defeating Republican bashing.
Fantastic video, the comparison at the end (Iran controlling Canada and Mexico etc) was really eye opening. Really affirms my utmost respect for the USA and their genuine, absolutely altruistic measures to implement democracy and freedom around the world...
Great video. Arguably one of the first instances of America showing it's post war colonial dominance over Britain and the subsequent collapse of our empire. We were nasty fuckers, you guys just managed to keep it under the radar better.
