I'm trying to think of a place that the US has sent troops into that wasn't already a mess. The idea that Vietnam or Somalia or Haiti or Iraq are worse because the US went in is laughable. They were already humanitarian disasters and were subsequently given huge opportunties to improve along the lines of Germany or Japan after WW2. But because of their own internal corruption, these countries squandered them.

I'm not for the foreign involvement, but the idea that these places were blissfully going along in freedom and harmony until the US showed up is ridiculous.
