Remember Old Conservatives?
Here is what they had in mind and partly acted on after 9/11 with Bush in and others in power:
American leadership is GOOD and to bring that good to everyone military, diplomatic energy, and moral principles to be used.
I am sure Iraqi's think they are being killed morally and with political energy, so as detainees in Guantanamo, Afghanistan, and Iraq that have not been charged and picked up for resisting military action for many years now.

Iran election and US invasion
I find it intriguing that US and western media now complain about free flow of information about the Iran election protests and the deplorable way Iran regime is blocking reporters and other news outlets from free access to what is going on there. On the flip side here we are 6 years after illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq US military still manges how news, pictures, and videos are reported. They embed reporters with US military along with so called "minders". We to this day do not have a clear picture of what Iraqi's resistance made up of, are they just some nutty Isalmofacists or people fighting to get rid of their country of foreign invaders. Are they freedom fighters or just few (couple) of crazy dudes envious of our freedom.
We in the west including those little mouses on the other side of the pond have ZERO moral or ethical base to question what Iranian government is doing to keep it together. We did the same thing after 9/11. We summarily arrested anyone with as much as looking dark to rendering them to other surrogate killers and torcherers. The funny thing is that in comparison 9/11 attack was nothing for the US system and government compared to what is going on in Iran.
There you are WEST has totally lost whatever MORAL capital that it may have had before 9/11. Having said that I find events in Iran lot more promising that if Bush type had been reelected in US. At least for the time being US is not drowning with FEAR and LOATHING.
In some ways perhaps criminal activities of US in the last 6 years could have a silver lining in how rest of the world will evolve into a more civil societies. Now that old "I am GOD's gift to you fuckheads" way of dealing with developing and even Europe is gone perhaps other nations can grow more Organically.
You see BUSH was not so bad after all. He proved that we are just as crazy as rest of the world, that we have the potential to display Hitler like behavior. We could cluster bomb and summarily execute people to prove our point that they had WMD!
