I don't know where you seem to have been living these past 50 years, but apparently it wasn't on earth. This past war in Iraq was the first war of aggression waged by the US. That's right. A big fat 1. Korea, Vietnam, and the first gulf war were all triggered by expansion of a foreign power. Maybe you would have preferred that the US allow unchecked Russian expansion? Wondering if it would have been fun living under Mao during the "great leap forward"?

Re: Delerak: Compare both Hiroshima and Nagasaki to the Russian capture of Berlin during WWII, in which they lost 300,000 soldiers. Half the total battle deaths of the US in a single battle. The total German military and civilian casualties are unknown to this day.

Or perhaps you'd like to take a gander at the figures for civilian casualties during the German offensive into Russia?

I don't like the current US administration's policies, but the level of historical revisionism that's taking place here is absolutely disgusting.
