It is unfortunate that in our colonial past we acted the same way towards the British, in that we deviated from the standard rules of war, and frustrated a superior army and navy in manpower and assets. So it's OK that we did it and bad that others are doing similar? Kind of like business, where you have to reinvent yourself every so often.
It has nothing to do with any of that. You must first accept the notion that US is divinely guided, and that anything we do is Good. Same with Israel. We are incapable of doing bad things, since a priori everything we do is Good. When we wipe out a population and take their land, it is Manifest Destiny, and if you were an Indian, well, sucks to be you, but God wanted us to do it. Same thing when we torture people; it's not brutal and inhuman, because it's Jesus' hand placing the electrodes on their testicles, not ours.
Your thinking is being clouded by these wacky "shades of grey" concepts. Things make much more sense when you only think in these black-and-white notions.
