Carol C: I think you are incorrect (Surprise!)

I do believe that it has been the policy of the U. S. to bring about regime change since the Clinton administration. It did not originate with the Bush administration.

The president of the U. S. is obligated to protect its citizens if he/she feels there is a clear and imminent danger, and is justified in doing so with or without allies or permission from the U.N.
