Would Super Man stop USA bombing other countries?

I find this "american way" versus "let´s kill the baddies" way kind of hipocritical because USA never stand for peacefull solutions and justice and this kind of stuff, they support dictatorship and bloodsheds since it´s on their interest, just like any other country, they are not some kind of world´s concience.
That´s why I hate when super heros goes political, they should fight only super villains, after all if a hero tries to finish mankind evilness, he must kill all humans because the world is not black and white, is a big shade of grey.
If USA is bombing a third world country, would Super Man stop them like he did with the Pokolistani?

Yes.
First of all, Superman is above the petty squabbles of any nation. There is a reason it's called the fortress of solitude. And as for "The American Way," it does not mean might makes right, like was said in the movie. We used to shy away from battle, only when left with no other options would we enter (reluctantly at that.) More recently, those in power, politically motivated, instilled fear in the American people to gain support in their actions. Although, It wasn't a choice to avenge 9/11 and Iraq may have had to be dealt with at some point. I saw this movie as great social commentary on the going trend of people's misunderstood sense justice.

USA begins wars all the time, in Latin America they support military dictatorship for decades, same thing in Africa and Middle East, you are not aware of your country history.

why did you ask the question if you already had your preset convictions? I was jut talking about US invasions, not who they "Like" on Facebook. Countless countries have corrupt dictatorships, they might as well be on our side. And for the record, Latin America has been USA's bitch since the Monroe Doctrine. How's that for knowing my country's history?

America Has Been At War for 222 Out of 239 years it has been around. Aside from supporting dictators and monsters because they do your bidding, you were founded upon genocide and slavery. America is the most warlike monster in human history, how can you sit there and even begin to claim that America stands for justice and peace? Is your brainwashing that powerful?

Wow, a question about if Superman would treat America like he does other countries is now anti-American? Your oppression complex truly knows no bounds.

Of course not, even here he was making sure the leaders of countries met in neutral territory to discuss peacefully.
