Cartoon is in a way, correct.
The USA has taken her role in the world as being a police force (whether she now likes it or not), but its biggest failing is that it has double standards in many situations.
Anyone can see the USA only goes where the money is.
So many Americans shocked.
I am shocked at the loss of lives, but not shocked at the events.
The USA has been hurting the people of Iraq for near a decade now.
Some of you may think 'It's Saddams fault'.
Sure, thats true.. then WTF don't you get rid of him?
Instead of hitting the cities (which the military uses as cover for their AA installations).
Note, a 'democratic' country in no way means that that country is fair and just.
Case in point, Israel.
The USA supplies Israel with weapons and technology, simply because they need an ally in the region, and because Israel is 'democratic'.
2 requirements.
Good job.
Other than that, Israel has free reign to destroy as many human lives as they wish - do we hear the western democracies complaining about that? No, since they are allied with America.
By all means, mourn the loss of so many human lives.. but in the same respect, make a note of what your 'oh-so-high-and-mighty, power of truth and justice' country does to the world for monetary gain.
