Seeing as today is Veterans Day this seems like a good time to check out this site:
This is a timeline of 163 US "interventions." Wars, coups, humanitarian efforts, covert activities, and so on that our government has been involved in. As the site says, "Out of this legacy, a complex picture emerges."
Actually, maybe tomorrow would be a better day for some of this. But do check it out. Take the time to read through it. Learn a bit of American history.
