This map is completely misleading.
First, it's about military intervention AND CIA operations. Being as the CIA has operated at some level in nearly every country..... Second.... This maps makes it look like we have been to war with nearly every country. Odd, I don't remember the US attacking Australia.
At the same time look at China.... Do you know how many countries China has attacked since China has been China?
Then again look at Russia.... Russia has been involved in Vietnam, Korea, all of the countries in Europe behind the Iron Curtain, Afghanistan.....
I am not trying to defend US policy, but instead trying to explain it. We had a policy of staying out, and eventually we get sucked in. When we get sucked in "later on" after trying to ignore the problem, the problem is much worse. Again, look at WWII. Imagine if the US had stood up to Germany in 1938 and attacked then - we could have saved tens of millions of lives.
