And what I mean is: Who has been invading small countries and occupying them with its high-tech armies? Who has been launching "pre-emptive" attacks. Who? Which great powers have been doing that? That tells you the whole story in a nutshell. Aggression is aggression, even if you tie a big red, white, and blue ribbon around it and call it "fighting terrorism" or "defending freedom". You don't need swastikas, goose-stepping, and Nazi salutes to practice fascism, you don't need to be German or Japanese or Italian or Russian, you just need to attack and invade others first, without any real need, and without any real justification.
