We're guilty of helping, definitely, but I can't recall many events where we started shit abroad. The US just usually does it because it has interests (e.g., resources, political leverage). But it doesn't admit to that; usually just says that it's for the good of freedom and rights (because you know, only they have those things). Then there have been times where, after retracting their forces from whatever country they were meddling with (Somalia for example, I think), ended up resulting more civilian death. I definitely wouldn't say that there's a lot of difference between the US and terrorists; it's just that the US is more systematic and political about it.
Haha.. Oh Spiderman.. Yeah, I forgot about that scene. You're right that superhero comics are very pro-American; I guess I was wrong in expecting that it would be otherwise.
But yeah, I enjoyed Ironman. Looking forward to the sequel.
I'll check my email. Gmail notifier has been fucked for a long time so I usually only find out when I bother to check manually.
