But dangerous to whom? By all standards, and from the perspective of the majority of countries in the world, the United States is the most dangerous nation in the world. We certainly have the firepower to do more damage to the world than any other nation.

And the women of Iraq are now facing the likelihood that they will have fewer rights now that Iraq has been "liberated" by the US than they had before the invasion and occupation. So trying to liberate women in countries in which they are oppressed using force of arms has a tendency to backfire on the very people we claim to be trying to help.

We (the US) are a warrior culture. Warriors have their place within cultures, but they should never be allowed to run the show.
