I oppose the mass slaughter of innocent and mostly un-armed protestors with fighter planes, so I of course supported the intervention in Libya.

Don't really understand the leftists (or anyone) supporting American intervention in WWI though.

the burden is on those who would favor an action, rather than it would be on me to prove a negative.  so you can start us off.

Slavery was bad; the Civil War ended it.

you also had the mass use of extralegal state terror directed at blacks, a post-Reconstruction development without parallel in the pre-1861 universe.

I think legal slavery on a massive scale is somewhat comparable, actually.
