some supervision.

Are you talking about Vietnam and Korea?
A couple points there... first, it takes two to tango. The US wasn't the only country participating in those wars. Second, those proxy wars, while ridiculous in the amount of pain and suffering they placed on the people of those nations, were important in maintaining global stability. One could claim that without them, it's likely we'd still be living in a Cold War. However, that's pure speculation, and cannot be proven one way or the other. In addition, this isn't about those wars, this is about a different one.
But here's a question... why don't you bring up the supervision of the rebuilding of Japan? Or of West Germany? Why do you only bring up the bad things? Not only that, war is not supervision, supervision is how the world is dealing with Kim Il Jong.
And again, I'll reiterate that I did NOT specify US supervision. As a matter of fact, I pointed against such a thing.
