If I was a rich man and I murdered someone, a nobody, a peasant, I would most likely be apprehended, sent
to court and then go to prison, even though I am rich...... why doesn't the same thing work for nations?
Why did the world fought against Japan and Germany when they did evil but when the US does evil it isn't punished? And let's stop pretending you don't know what evils it's done.....
Why is it when the US topples democratically elected governments..... it isn't punished?
Why is it that Iran is being punished with sanctions but when the US decided to invade Panama it wasn't punished?
Why is it that Venezuela is being punished with sanctions but when the US decided to invade Iraq it wasn't punished?
Why is it that after the US decided to kill millions in Vietnam, it wasn't punished but when Vietnam won the war, it was punished?
Why is it when they get bombed, it is wrong but when they use drones, it is right?
Why was 9/11 wrong but the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are right?
They get hurt, it is wrong, others get hurt, it is right?
Where is the justice there? Seriously, where is the justice?
Because the US is a superpower. It has been that way since the outcome of WW2. Superpowers don't last forever and America overcall compared to world history is a really short superpower. Always throughout history there been a country or tribe that is far stronger than another country and tribe and bully it and take advantage of it. Unfortunately that the way the world has always been.
Yet if there is no justice in this life, as a man of faith I believe justice can be served in the next life.
I hope so and when it no longer is one, the world should make it pay for its crimes.
I feel you but I also hope that the people, especially the relatives of those who have died, will get justice.
The US is very likely to remain a superpower for a couple of more decades at least. Even if the next superpower that overtakes America I doubt will be more benignant. There are good politicians in the US and can bring changes such as Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul. If only they become presidents. They are anti-interventionism.
While I acknowledge some of the things the OP has said, there is another side to this as well. The US is also a stabilizing power on the world stage. For example, what keeps Russia from attacking countries in Europe is NATO and the largest funder of NATO is the US.

Maybe because very few countries actually think of the US as being “evil” and even less would be crazy enough to target a nuclear power, after all why do you think the US and the Soviet Union ever escalated to a hot war? Despite all of the flaws of the US, the world would be much worse with out it. The last thing you want is a power vacuum of that magnitude left behind.
