Sear,

But the U.S. military is for the defense of U.S. interests. It's not for toppling sovereign governments, and spreading democracy at gunpoint; an obvious absurdity.

I could not agree more. The US should only act where it is in her own interest.

It is the Bush Administration's policy that our interest (protection from terrorism) is best served by being aggressive against terrorist organizations and those countries that sponsor/harbor terrorists.

Whether one agrees that that is the best plan is a suitable topic for debate. However, making the US the moral equivalent of the terrorists is dishonest.
