We weren’t the belligerents in World War II either, but we kept to our principles.

We faced a far greater, far more capable, existential and determined threat during the Cold War, but we kept to our principles.

I’m going to need more.

True. However, I don’t see much comparison between WWII and now. While we didn’t torture or water board then we are not exactly fire bombing urban areas for weeks at a time as we did then. If we apply today’s standard then it couldn’t done which is thus like applying those standards to today.

As far as the cold war is concerned I won’t mention Latin America and Operation Condor.
