    Bill Clinton’s presidency, the U.S. bombed Iraq, Afghanistan, and Sudan.

    George Bush, the U.S. bombed Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, and Somalia.

    Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya

    "Since 1980, the United States has military intervened 37 times in 27 countries. In his five years as president, Obama himself has ordered US attacks against seven nations (Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and now Syria). "

    http://www.businessinsider.com/us-launches-drone-s... "That makes Somalia the sixth predominantly Muslim country in which the U.S. has used drones.

    Al-Shabab has been fighting the Somalian government since 2006. The U.S. accuses it of working with al-Qaeda to plan attacks outside Somalian territory. It is blamed for an attack in Uganda last summer that killed 76 people, including one American.

    The Obama administration has sharply increased the use of military drones in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The U.S. is also using them against Qaeda-affiliated militants in Yemen and the Qaddafi regime in Libya."

    Since 1776 has complete list.

    Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Lybia... I think that's it.

    Lybia: 1. Retribution for the discotheque bombing 2. Liberation

    Kuwait: To free them from Iraqi aggression

    Afghanistan: Action against Taliban for hiding Osama bin Laden

    Iraq: To free them of an evil mass-murdering dictator

    Pakistan: Chasing Taliban into the northern hills

    Syria: Chemical weapon usage, ISIS

    This is of course just a few of the atrocities the US has committed in the Middle East since WW1 .

    These people never hurt us , never attacked us , never threatened us but ALL BECAUSE OF OIL PROFITS WE have done nothing but kill and war and use and abuse these people

    If aany country ever did even one atrocity like the many the US has committed there, we would have NUKED them.

    And you wonder why the vast majority hate our guts and why 9/11 happened .

    I think the only ones we haven't bombed is Saudi Arabia and the UEA.
