They didn't invent it. But they have routinized and legalized it. We prosecuted Japanese as war criminals for waterboarding POWs. It's hard to imagine that we could ever do that again, now that we've told the world that we're OK with it.

We tell other nations all the time that they cannot have nukes.
Hypocritical? You betcha.
Sound policy? Absolutely.
The anti-American brigade - moving ever so slowly to the front of the Dem party - is so blind in their hatred if Bush that they ignore that the USA, while clearly not mistake-proof, also exerts its power with the utmost care and highest discipline.
I actually trust our government - and most especially our military - to almost always use whatever force or action is necessary, and that is it. Of course there will be mistakes, but that is the unfortunate side effect of volume: it's a bitch being the policeman of the world.
PS - if these Europeans, other than Great Britain, really loathed our military so much, they'd raise their fucking taxes and actually build a useful standing Army.
