1; And how do you explain the economic and demographic boom in the late 40s and the 50s?
2; Saddam was acting very suspiciously and not letting Blix and Co. snoop around. Not to mention that stockpiles of tactical level weapons like various gases and SCUDs have been found, not to mention the "Super Gun" project 10 years earlier.
3; The only folks the US is really oppressing in the 1st category is terrorists and suspected terrorists. Also, how does the US oppress women by allowing them to vote, run for office, and have the exact same rights as men? I agree gay rights are a little behind in America, but that's changing these days. On the 4th and 5th, regardless of the masturbatory fantasies of the tinfoil hat brigade, people aren't being shoved into black vans and marched into secret James Bond-esque camps to be tortured for Halliburton. Guantanamo has only had a few incidents related to journalists and mostly those have been resolved.
4;No, create the Democratic Empire and then wait for 100 years for everything to clear up. Nothing to do with waiting for terrorists. We should get them now.
