Help, we are drowning in peculiar irony! This is too much fun:

"...once {a U.S.-led coalition} starts meddling in the internal affairs of sovereign nations, where does it stop?"

"...we are starting to resemble a power-hungry imperialist army creating an occupation by foreigners."

"International respect and trust for America has diminished every time we casually let the bombs fly."

"...it is unfair and unrealistic of the United States to demand that {a dictator} agree to allow foreign troops to have free rein over the entire country. This is like asking him to slit his throat with his own people... no wonder {the dictator} refused."
