It's definitely easier to pick the side with freedom, wealth, democracy and relative peace. I don't know why others would want to choose something different because in the countries you are defending you wouldn't even be allowed to question their gov't
so again, you plainly admit that you justify american agression to push their ideology because you thinks its better. Nationalism, hypocrissy and naivite, all in one statement.

It does depend on the opponent but in this case its clear that the US position is easily justified because of what happens under extreme islam and its politics compares to their society USA doesn't seem so bad
I can only take this to me that if Islamic countries aren't terrorist then neither is America. So nothing to fight about. Simply change the OP to wonder why the left is so willing to support the suicide bombing, attacks on civilians, and destruction of buildings when practiced by Islamic countries. See? Terrorism doesn't have to enter into this.
The word terroroism is completeley subjective, and will ALWAYS fit when used to describe one seen as an enemy.
Hey, we just gave up using the terrorist label, remember?
2)exactly. Every group is doing what they think is right. And every group is trying to force their way on another. So why is only one a terrorist?
Why is it that you so easily accept that your way is superior?
Depending on how you look at it, there are at least three different answers. 1) The US believes its land, people, and interests are being attacked, so they fight back. (Isn't that the same answer Islamic countries use?) 2) If you accept the idea of leaving people alone, the idea of conversion to Islam or death is abhorrent. So we're stopping it. 3) We believe it's important to have a friend in that region, and the Brotherhood and Wahabbis (Spelling?) are out to get them all. Use any or all answers if you'd like.

Breaking it down further the US feels its the right thing to do because of the way their society lives. Its inhumane what that and the leaders do in the name of religion which is what I've stated many times b4. They don't currently have the freedom to decide

Fine then let them kill themselves so sorry for trying to help backwards living people and to promote a peaceful loving world isn't that usually what liberals want tho?
You don't think that their society is inhumane?
I don't claim to know what 'liberals' want, as I am not one, and even if I was, I wouldn't be so naive, juvenile and insipid as to generalize any group in that way. Only serves to make the accuser look like the fool they usually are.

So its pointless to force muslims to grow up or to force democracy onto them but its ok to stand by and watch their dictators kill their own ppl and commit horrific crimes against humanity because they think they are right?
I think you're absolutely right. This is their religion, their belief, and if it changes it will only be over time and without force. It's not the West's job to change it for them.
So its pointless to force muslims to grow up or to force democracy onto them . . . because they think they are right?

Oh grow up! to you everything is generalization. I am tired of fighting the people who think we shouldn't generalize or label its ridiculous because we all do it! You are doing it too because you believe you are standing up for the rights of terrorists when they hardly had the freedom to choose what religion or way of life they wanted to live they are brainwashed just as much as I apparently am, the only difference is my dream is to run my own company and become financially wealthy. They want to terrorize the west, cause some damage along the way be a martyr to their cause for God and probably some virgins as well
