I wish I'd seen this earlier. The section I especially relate to is:
"The U.S. went to Vietnam to stop the Communist dominos from falling, and
the entire region fell to the communists. The U.S. invaded Panama,
supposedly to end drug-dealing there, and today Panama is more overrun with
the drug trade than ever. After years of arming Saddam Hussein, the U.S.
invaded Iraq to get rid of him, but he is still held up as a terrible threat
to the world. The U.S. bombed Libya to teach terrorists a lesson; so the
terrorists hijacked the Pan American plane over Scotland.
Perhaps you could give me an example of where U.S. military response in the
past several decades has achieved any purpose."
