I have no argument in favor of the war on terror, it was based on a false premise and a total moral failure. I don't think any Americans buy the propaganda around it either.

I just disagree as to whether the US is truly a 'destructive superpower' - I personally believe that the country has been a net good for the world, even if sometimes its actions had negative consequences. Under American leadership post WWII the world has gotten richer, lives longer, and has fewer conflicts as a whole. Would this have happened without US leadership and instead under Soviet rule? Maybe, but I'm pretty skeptical.

Except for the poor souls killed thanks to US weapons, or taken into planes and interrogated in unknown locations, imprisioned without trial for years and then dropped again into a random location.

Very good example to look for, indeed.

Every country has done immoral things. Nobody is denying that. What we are saying is the US is leagues above China. Any bad action done by the US has a similar action by China. Bombings, wars, false arrests, etc. The difference is the US is trying to move on and better itself while China is continuing with this behavior.
