    Hey, to be fair they dropped a couple of H-bombs on Spain as well, and they turned out alright. Oh, er, but I suppose that was an accident though. And the bombs didn't really go off, apart from in a conventional spread plutonium over the fishermen kind of way.

    not really wwman
    how many of those bombings were actually attempts at bringing in a democratic government?
    you could probably say very very very few
    none? (maybe Cuba, but they were cubans themselves anyway)
