I’d say some of the items on your list are questionable:
Tibet 1955-1970s- you mean helping the Tibetans resist the occupation of their country by the Chinese?
Poland 1981- assisting Solidarity
Kuwait 1991- after Iraq invaded

One man’s imperialism is another man’s internationalism.
By Iran?
Well, Lebanon, for one.
Afghanistan for another.
Former USSR territories.
Most Middle East countries, at least on the financial tack.
And, dare does one mention Israel?
Not as long a list, but The Islamic Republic of Iran is new at the game. Give 'em a chance, I say!

Its shows only one thing, let those country people decide. I dont have much information about Tibet but, i really want to invade USA after sawing all those terrorization moves in 2013. Specially the times when Anonymous was on fire. Is it gave my country to invade USA? On the other hand, media is not showing everything. So you cant really know whats going on there but it doesnt scared you cuz its performed by Umerica.
Also what about Wietnam or Philippines. Why dont see these countries. Or in second Iraq war. Iraq wasnt invade anywhere. Even WMD wasnt there.
Well im really wondering who is the real terrorist?
You can add Syria to the end of the list again, and probably the Ukraine when the truth comes out in a couple of years, although there is evidence enough already.

Lubnan is bombing by Israel. Iran is supportin Hezbollah which is protecting Lebonan against Israel. About Lebonan Iran has no fault.
Afghanistan destroyed by US. With the support of US, drugs seperated to the worrld from Afghanistan and Iran just want to protect their borders from them. Also sunni Taliban is very strong in Afghanistan and this is shows us Iran has no chance to do something there. Iran was supporting Raseed Dostum and this guy now near to US and fighting for them. Inside of the former Soviet countries Iran is close to Armenia which is christian country and they have ecocomic partnership and so on. Because of the amborgo which is put it by Ajarbaijan and Turkey, Iran is the only chance for Armania, opening to the rest of the world. If they cant sold their product to other countries without Irans will, people now living on the edge of starvation, would have been dead already. Iran has no problem with former Soviet couintries except Ajarbijan and this problems comes from an old time.
Iran moves together with some countries such as Russia, China Venezuela…Also with Syria, Lebonan and todays Iraq can count as an Irans comrades. And those countries are against imperialism like Iran. And other Middle East countries which is managed by dictators and repressive regimes, are standing with the support of the US. Iran did not war against non of these countries but between 1980 and 1988 Iran protect itself against Iraq. Iraq was taking chemical weopans from US, and they were going to use it against Iran. Israel is a different sutiation. Israil occupying racist and colonisiaid regime like John Kerry mentioned today. Everyone must be raise their hand against it. FOrcing Israil to share lands fifty to fifty...it must be everyones duty for my opinion.
You cant judge countries in the case of one revolition. Iran is a 5000-years state. With one political revolotion behavior does not change. They may become more defensive but not become more aggressive. The most obvious feature for Iran for the last 140 years they didnt attemp for invasion or for war if other country start it first. Yeah we have to give a chance to Iran, we need to remove to ambargo. And let them to have nucleer cuz many country have nuclear weapon and why Iran is blocked by those countries, we have to think on it. If you compact a cat in the corner it will attack you. Irans stuation is the same, every country will do the same thing. ALso you cant compare a country like US whom in 140 years had attack 100 countries, whom had modern massacres and lot of infamous crime…We should not fooled by this propaganda. US destroyed Middle East and Latin America now coming Asia. Obama`s Asia policy is the beginnig of this. Going centre of the power and benefit from it. However, now, we have powerfull countries like China and Russia.

:eh:
Strewth!?
Got it all figured out, have we?
Some serious flaws in your basic premise, not to mention grammar and punktuation. Diction is quite well, but one must always strive to improve one’s phrasing.

Not everyone’s a native speaker- if all the posters here who made grammar and punctuation mistakes were silenced [strike]the world would be a better place[/strike] things would be very quiet.

Right.
Not everyone is native to English.
That said, verbosity ain’t helping either.
And then there is the basic premise:
America actually wants to win the Invasion Olympics, or something.
Think I’ll be on the other side of the fence on this one.
And as a mod, can’t really help the blind see.
Grammar, it is then.
At first glance I thought wow, that appears to be one of the more dickish comments I’ve seen. Then I realized, it’s ok, he’s a moderator. It’s perfectly acceptable for a mod to actively discourage non native speakers from posting on the forum.

:eh:
A likely story!
There is a certain standard of expression which much be upheld if this forum is to be of any function whatsoever. There is no discouragement at all, that would entail a flame or three.
The post of mine you quoted, quite clearly had some critique, but it also had a few valid compliments.
But hey, who am I to judge reading comphrension skills?
Alas, our evil modding skills do not extend so far.
In any event, there are many that would go so far,
as to say: North Americans are non-native speakers of English.
All those countries flirted with communism (or extreme socialism) or put a mad man in office. Hindsight is 20/20 but at the time they were tangible threats to the greater good.
I think in the year 2014 the above is no longer an acceptable excuse (we have evolved as a global community) but last century people needed their hash settled.

What’s wrong with introducing freedom and democracy ? It’s is Russia’s expansionist policies that we have to worry about. Least that’s what I heard on CNN and Fox and CBC and…
