So yeah, not all wars are the same, but people suffer all the same.
But the US also acts through a democracy, while the countries mentioned above do not. I can criticize the stupid policies of the US in a public forum. The citizens of the countries listed above can not. Democracy is not the equivalent of an oligarchy or tyranny. The people of a country are different from the government that represents them. Unelected governments are illegitimate and a danger to the free world despite what their minions of propaganda post.

When I read these type of comments I get truly scared on how the lives of non-western people don't really mean anything to lots of people.
There wasn't as slight shift in a conflict but an all out invasion causing hundreds of thousands of deaths in a few years. Millions if you consider the last 20 years.

Crimes committed by a democracy, a theocracy or a dictatorship are crimes all the same. That is how the rest of the world sees it and it's time for the west to start seeing it too.
I guess the innocent men, women and children feel better having died at the hands of a democracy.
But, your comment did bring a smile to my face, especially as what is happening right now [0]
Democracy? Iraq War pt II. Led by Bush, declared illegal by many, unwanted by more. Led by Bush, democracy. How did he get installed again? Ahh yes, the Florida "recount". Where the governor was his brother and the partisan SCOTUS decided along partisan lines rather than recount.
------ [0] POTUS stating the current recount in Florida should be stopped, even though is mandated by state law. Democracy?
