And it's ignorance of history and verifiable facts that inspire your kind of ungrateful thinking and why you don't deserve to call yourself an American nor live in this country.
And zero change in countries that we intervene in? Have you forgotten Western Europe? West Germany? How about South Korea?
And Iraq? Free elections, schools open to include women, oil money now going to the country instead of Saddam's pocket. And get your facts straight. The people didn't rebel they were invaded due to the vacuum created when America left. Just like in Vietnam. All military leaders and experts concur.
Please get out of this country you ingrate.

If it wasn't abundantly clear from my writings: I do not live in the US. Not a shock that you didn't pick up on this, americans tend to like their own rhetoric too much to actually listen to what anyone else communicates. Also, you clearly do not understand what an intervention consists of.
intervention (ˌɪntəˈvɛnʃən)
n
1. the act of intervening
2. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) any interference in the affairs of others, esp by one state in the affairs of another
Being invited to do something does not constitute an intervention. The US involvement in the second world war is not an intervention. There was an express request from the allied forces, but even then, in the face of a manifestly just cause, they would not commit militarily until provoked by the Japanese.
I also can't thank you enough for succinctly pointing the very argument I was making. The objective of the iraq intervention was to leave a stable and autonomous state following the overthrow of Saddam. As you highlighted, following the US intervention, the exact opposite has occurred. You now have ISIS and continuing war, a direct product of the chain of causation beginning with american military intervention. Hardly meeting the stated objectives. But I suppose you would classify this as a "win" for the US.
So what are you, the american tax payer, left with following the astronomical military spend? Non-fulfilment of stated political objectives, huge debts and american lives lost. I don't see how you can class this as anything other than abject failure.
