Let me help your memory out, you said in post #100 that Americans are guilty of the following:
Your complaint is with your perceived motives. Dead is dead. Disfigured is disfigured.

We tortured individuals and our president said he would do it again. We've thrown people in prison to be forget about with absolutely no charges filed or access to legal representation.

We've killed thousands of innocent men, women and children. Are they less dead because they were blown to bits as opposed to decapitated?

They do not have trillions to spend on the best military equipment available so they will retaliate in the ways they can. I've noted many times that the British considered us as terrorists during the Revolutionary war because we fought in a different manner than was acceptable at the time. We hid behind tree's. They found that less than honorable.

Why are we killing people in Syria? What did they do to us?

So now its bad to kill terrorists who's main goal is to bring death and destruction to the U.S?

What kind of backwards liberal logic is that?

Why should their logic be different? We attacked them.

Are you now answering for others (like you know what everyone is thinking)? I don't believe I was asking you anything.

Was that really the question? I think the idea was that they had "become radicalized".

What does that phrase mean, to you? My understanding of it would be that they are intentionally fighting against our country, because that's what radical Islam does.

If you don't want to answer, fine. It's common.

We attacked them, why should they not be fighting against us? Why did we attack Syria? Who authorized it?

This was the line of rationale i was trying to put forth not individual atrocities in your list.
While we are talking atrocities let me throw in a Hiroshima and Nagasaki, you may have been deluded into believing Islam is the worst culture ever but America is far from being able to exhibit the moral high ground. Do 100,000 people get shot every year in U.S.? Facebook post says yes | PolitiFact

if you are slaughtering people by the thousands, why don't you just tell your group of mass murderers that you are no longer interested in being involved? A great first step would be to set down your weaponry and count to ten. Tell yourself that you've doled out enough death. I recall reading some psychology journal somewhere which stated that once a killer has taken a hundred or so lives, he/she loses whatever motivation he/she had to take the lives of others. If nothing else, perhaps you will hit that wall at some point. Good luck in kicking the habit.
