the point I was making is that I don't have an issue with the US using it's
resources to take down violent dictators, all of them, some of them, one of
them, it's an honorable goal.

What I do have an issue with is our leaders bs'ing us into it and our other
leaders claiming that the first ones did it because of reason X which is
just as much bs as the first bunch.
