291. Average Joe 90, how is it that the USA possesses the moral authority at this point

to go in and punish anyone anywhere for a single gas attack?

Our government uses Depleted Uranium. We did this under Clinton, and then under Bush, and now under Obama in Afghanistan.

We use napalm, we use phosphorous. We put people into torturous stress positions until they DIE!

People in Vietnam died of terrible cancers, for years after we left, because of our government's deliberate genocidal use of dioxin and Agent Orange to defoliate the nation of Vietnam. Now depleted uranium is doing that genocidal work, all over the land in Serbia, Afghanistan and Iraq..

Some 1.4 million people are dead in Iraq, who would probably be alive if we had not had the audacity to keep the MIC and its big wheels for profit churning, while showing the world that we could not only invent reasons for war, our elected officials could extend a war for a decade or more, if they wanted to.
