?I?More people were murdered and enslaved by their own governments in the 20th century than were ever killed by terrorists or foreign invaders.?/I??P? So by your obviously brilliant deduction that applies to the United States of America? Seems to me we have done more to stop the murder and enslavement of other governments of their citizens, witness the fall of the Third Reich, USSR and the Imperial Empire of Japan. Sorry, but I don?t see the connection, other than your obvious dislike for our government and lack of patriotism.

Ignoring your insults, it applies to all governments. Just what is it that makes you think that the US government is immune to this sort of thing (hint - look up Wounded Knee and Manzanas)

lack of patriotism.

Lack of jingoism you mean

As for the "Imperial Empire of Japan", as you somewhat redundantly title it: they didn't want war with the United States; FDR wanted war with Japan and put them in a position where they had no choice but to make war on the U.S. I don't mean to suggest that their actions in China were anything but reprehensible. But the war that was forced on them, and the enormous loss of life that resulted on both sides, might have been avoided.
