Quote:

Finally, we have the American public, and their right to vote. If a city was destroyed by American forces, the American public would be properly outraged at such a morally offensive war crime. Politicians supporting the war would be ousted. Americans have as sense of decency, humanity, and fair play which comes from being the world's pre-eminent democracy.



Or, as with Reagan's 1986 bombing of Libya, the bulk of the American people would applaud it as a perfectly justified response to the taking of American lives.
