Iran? Last I checked they were trying to destabilize Syria, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen.

Syria? Lebanon comes to mind again

Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan? All of them are involved in "foreign soil" in some way

Egypt and Turkey vis-a-vis Libya (and Cyprus)?

Serbia/Albania vis-a-vis Kosovo

Morocco (Mali, Western Sahara)?

All of them are better than the US?

Not to mention that the behavior of a country "on foreign soil" is often very different than its behavior with its own citizens. That's why this division of good/evil countries often does not make sense.




I think the point here is that US always wages wars far away from their land, so they don’t have to worry about consequences or casualties. For most other countries war is something quite different from the usual business.
