A quick review of the Amnesty International web page http://www.amnesty.org mentions various degrees of governmental oppression in Vietnam, Malaysia, Russia, Turkey, Cuba, Rwanda, Israel, and Venezuela. I'm sure there are innumerable more countries cited within the website. So, how many more US military personnel should have to die so that Chechens can be free of Putin's tyranny or North Koreans can be free of their version of Saddam? And how much will it cost us in terms of money that could have been put to use here in the form of education, healthcare, infrastructure, reduction on the national debt (this one's a joke), etc. We were "lucky" to have only lost 125 of our own thus far (and there will be more undoubtedly).
