Is that for real, or just the one that you've chosen to project on them? You seriously think that a nation like the US uses a "moral" position to shape foreign policy? As opposed to economic, geopolitical and strategic? You seriously think that its all about some sort of puritanical moralising?? You really that naive?

One word for that. It starts with "B" and ends with "ollocks".
Are you part of one of the families directly afflicted by this incident, yes or no?
If the answer is no, then what you are projecting onto the families based on your own hates and prejudices is absolutely and totally of no significance to anyone except yourself. And, as you have no real reason, save for your moralising for anyone else to take what you're saying seriously, when what has happened has happened and is been and done and gone 30 years ago, there is no point or consequence in your opinion. So you hate Uncle Sam. Big F'ing deal. Queue up behind half the rest of the planet who claim to hate him. Whoop-de-doo.
