U.S. has Invaded and/or Bombed 14 Muslim Countries Since 1980

[Tom Rinaldo]

6. Technically accurate but misleading artical title

With Somalia the U.S. first entered in the face of a truly horrific famine that was then gripping that nation to help distribute food aid that was desperately needed. With Kuwait, Bosnia, Kosovo and Libya the U.S. acted in support of Muslim populations with the support of most of the Muslim nations of the world. It is note worthy that in 3 of those 4 cases the outcome has arguably been positive to date. Libya not so much but it is still a moving picture. Somalia is lawless now, but it was lawless then also.

I'm not defending the other military actions or everything we did with the above, just pointing out that there is often a difference when U.S. actions in Muslim nations are viewed as positive by Muslims at the time.
