Bullshit. Alma laid out facts, you didn't refute a single one but simply twisted them to support what we're doing now. Your third para, in fact, could easily describe what we're doing now

The main fact is that once again we are attacking an oil rich country because its own government dared to put down a rebellion in its own sovereign territory. We didn't have the campaign of lies leading up to it like in Iraq because this was just an opportunity Obama seized instead of an idee fixe that had been laid out way back in the 90's. (Though it's beginning to look more and more like a part of that doctrine every day). That can come later, I suppose.
Alma may have pointed out several notable historical occurrences, but it still goes back to the fact that the Soviets have often been even worse than us when it comes to manipulating foreign nations.

I guess what makes it difficult for Alma to accept is that, when looking at a lot of human history -- very few people are the "good guys."

It's usually just varying degrees of "bad guys." We've been bad, but we haven't been as bad as some of our rivals.
