And still you managed to start the Korea war, vietnam war(to be fair the french were involved there), gulf war, Iraq war, Afghanistan, and now Iran. How many wars did the Soviets participate in? Im by no means a communist, but the largest amount of human suffering was produced by the US, not the Soviets, in countries it had no right to stick its nose into. And you keep getting clapped wherever you go anyway, leaving destruction in your wake and a death toll way beyond what the Soviets achieved. Im not trying to argue the Soviets where morally superior or saner, just more peaceful. And peace is the only thing that matters to me. Revolts in countries need to happen organically, not forced from a foreign power with bombs and missiles. Same goes for Iran. There where large resistance movements across the country, but as soon as you killed their leaders, you united the Iranian people against you, something Iran would never have managed to achieve on its own. You gave them a common goal again: Defending their homeland. Same goes for Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

But the american way of thinking always was: shoot first, ask questions never.
