1. Thanks Bush.
They're using your doctrine to justify invading other countries now, and WTF can you do without looking like a arrogant ass. Awesome. It's great to be an American under this junta.

8. Any bets on how long before we hear "If the Americans can torture, so can we"?
Or "If the Americans can incarcerate and hold people indefinitely without charge or counsel, so can we".

Etc.

God damn sons of bitches in Washington opened Pandora's Box. They were advised not to. They did anyway.
