What did Saddam or Gaddafi do to you? Neither of them attacked the US. However, both were sitting on massive stockpiles of oil. And all the gold (libya had lots of it) seems to have disappeared into think air.
Infact, their countries were much better off before they were 'replaced'. While those people may not have been innocent,they were no threat to the US or the West, infact at the time they were fighting the same terrorist organisations that the US was.



Also, #3 is wrong, I think we all know that was a massive marketing strategy by Sony.

#8 - The US also has military schools for kids under 18.
