You forgot our genocide against the Native population. So what? Does that
deprive us of the right to retaliate against equally disgusting acts? I
don't care about the US government; I care about ordinary people like
myself whose only crime is to work in a nonmilitary US installation
somewhere. If only nations without blood on their hands have a right of
self-defense, we're all in big trouble.

As for your sarcastic jibes about the Sifa plant, I ask as elsewhere:
what is the relevance? If your argument is on "principle," then you
should be willing to take the facts as alleged, since the "principle"
covers any fact pattern by definition, including the US allegations. That
you aren't so willing is a tacit admission that your argument is not
based on principle at all.

The general stupidity of responses such as the above to my perfectly
logical, if heterodox opinion convinces me that there is no prospect of
an intelligent discussion of this issue, so I am dropping this thread.
The Chomsky list can now return to its former state of torpor. It was
certainly brain dead to begin with.
