there's always a narrative that Imperial powers use.  Napoleon, law codes and liberation of man and whatnot.  the Soviets were freeing people from wage labor, realizing the historical mission of the proletariat.  Nazis, the superior Aryan gig.  and the US, democracy and free markets.

why don't you go tell that to the family of muath al-kasasbeh? i'm sure they will really appreciate your opinion.

he's a bad choice for you to use, as he was actually engaged in war against ISIS.  choose one of the aid workers if you want to throw a one-liner out there.

"engaging in war" (especially as someone with no actual influence on foreign policy) is exactly the same as burning someone alive in a cage, of course.
