America is the exception to any rule.  Anything the US does is done for
democracy and is therefore always justified.  Therefore, any American
president is automatically a good person.  Unless, of course, he or she is a
Democrat, since only Republicans are true Americans.

More than 10 million have died directly or indirectly by US hands in Asia
(according to an author interviewed on BBC radio today).  We are so sorry
that they had to be slaughtered in order to be liberated.  Only a great man
like Reagan could have the intestinal fortitude to kill them in the name of
capitalist imperialism..er...I mean freedom.

And we'll kill 10 million more if they try to attack us again.

Democracy is to US foreign policy what God is to the right of kings.  I even
actually heard Cheney (or was it Asscroft) claim divine right for Bush on
Larry King's TV show, admonishing Americans to accept his legitimacy as
president since God saw fit to put him in power.

Yep, they seem to have forgot Acton's accurate observation that "Great men
are almost always bad men."
