that's pretty much a history of the world though.
Everything happens because someone somewhere did something, and sometimes it's bad, sometimes it's good. The US does have a lot of questionable involvement in other countries historically, but so does every other large country, like china, and russia. So i'm not sure how unique that is.
I mean hell, look at japanese history during the second world war.
Just because others do something evil, it does not absolve you of your sins.
evidently not, but then again, if there was no sin in the world, sin couldn't possibly exist could it? There would be no bad, or good, only things. But it does exist, so evidently, people must be doing it.
Seems like it must be a constant of life. Especially when you look at other species of animals. Morality and ethics is an arbitrarily defined human scope. It's nothing more, nothing less.
