3. America is so bad, that we saved Kuwait from being run over by their fellow Muslim and Islam believer, the ever popular-Saddam Hussein.

Saddam Hussein is a non-practicing Muslim and could probably be considered an atheist for that matter, just like Yasser Arafat. Of course I wouldn't got that far, since Arafat is a full blooded communist, who has been backed since day one by the Soviet Union (KGB). Saddam on the other hand has always maintained a strictly business relationship with the Soviets (oil for military crap), and no communist would have gone to war with the Marxist-Islamic clerics in Tehran. Saddam is simply a dictator-king.
Furthermore, we "saved" Kuwait because the Saudi government was scared shitless of the prospect of Saddam Hussein overthrowing the House of Saud, hence, ending one of the most brutal regimes the Middle East has seen since the time of the Sultans (the Saudis still hang Christians and women that commit infidelity or become pregnant before marriage). Kuwait used to be a province of Iraq long ago, but the British gave it indepedence from Iraq after WW II.
Iraq was our ally until 1990. They were the most liberal government outside of Israel, in the entire Middle East. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Oman, Turkey, Bahrain, and even Egypt faired far worse for human rights abuses against their own people. Of course, Saddam goaded his people into a deadly war with Iran, but hell, our government did the same thing in Vietnam. The US government hasn't been bombed to shreds for that yet, now have they?
As to whether or not Saddam gassed though Kurds is still a toss up, because Iran was lobbing missiles in the region during the time that event occured. Of course, if the west really cared for the Kurds to begin with, they would have bombed Turkey to hell long ago (murdered 30,000 Kurds in the last 30 years).
4. America is so bad, that we sent troops to Bosnia to stop the massacre of Muslims (side note: I was there.)

Yeah, and look where it got you. I think Osama even set up training camps in Albania and Bosnia for his soldiers of Allah. If you remember the MSNBC report that came out more than a month ago, those folks profited heavy from the sex slave trade. Hell, even some high ranking UN and NATO soldiers were involved in both the buying and selling. Goes to show how criminal states are created when you have robber baron governments in power throughout Europe.
Regardless, Milosevic and his cronies were in the midst of a civil war, which was only aggravated by our involvement. I am myself half-Serbian, and I'm fairly familiar with the ethnic crap that has gone on there. I can say that it will never be resolved until one side or the other goes, and it would be best for both Europe and America to let both sides duke it out (like Israel).
Anyway, I don't want to start a flame war, I'm just posing some facts and questions. I guess where I'm getting at with all of this is that I believe 9/11 would never have happened if we kept out ass over here and out of there so to speak. The US government has gotten their hands buried in some heavy shit the last 30-40 years in the Middle East (namely Iran, Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel and even Turkey). Supporting Israel has gotten us no where, and it seems to me that the only reason why the US govt. cares is due to easy oil access from the Saudis (since Iraq and Iran have long gone bye-bye).
