Then why don't all you eurasians go back to your home across the ocean and The Americans won't have to control you stranded Columbots any more than is necessary? Comparing Columbia to your Israel and bringing your eurasian fantasy politics into The Western Hemisphere will just slow your unwanted pain and put off your reverse immigration for another 500 years at the very best.

[prosvjeta]

muhammad must have been just like a real tough neo-con-republican.

[Jada54]

Why thumbs down historywillabsolve he makes some valid points. Anyways I agree with this vid 100%.

[MuslimGhost]

Lol, the narrator in question has been discredited. He doesnt cite any witnesses to corroborate his stories, while all accepted hadiths in the Islamic tradition have a verifiable chain of narration to confirm they are authentic. People who are interested can look up the Wikipedia entry on him. As for you, you can post all the lies you want, but people arent falling for your bullshit. After Sept. 11th the rate of conversion in America tripled. So thanks, keep encouraging people to research Islam.

[MuslimGhost]

You are an idiot making up stories. The men captured these two enemies and started beating them to get information out of them while Muhammad was praying. Beating.. not torture like Israel and the united states do. And when the Prophet finished, he told them to leave the men alone and remarked, when he tells you the truth you beat him and when he lies, you leave him alone. Get outta here and go back to sucking dick you dirty jew

[ninigreen7]

Please do come here and discuss subjects intelligently and with a degree of open mindness I DO NOT CARE about a book that was written by HUMANS-4000 years ago 2008 planet earth please get TO REAL ISSUES

[ninigreen7]

starcatcher888-Being very honest with you I do not care about Islam or Muslim,Christian,Jewish,Hindu or whatever I DO NOT CARE ABOUT RELIGION your are ignorant and do not know how TO DISCUSS THINGS RATIONALLY please get to REAL ISSUES-South America is the topic

[MuslimGhost]

Starcatcher is a cock roach obsessed with Islam. Most of these losers are, they have no life whatsoever so they try to hook themselves into people's minds by attacking Islam or making inflamatory statements. Just ignore it.

[ninigreen7]

MuslimGhost-Thank you very much for your comment I do so I ignore ANYONE who comes here discussing something that has NOTHING TO DO with religion I DO NOT CARE ABOUT RELIGION I mean ANY RELIGION please lets get to the REAL TOPIC-intelligent,rational discussions

[ninigreen7]

starcatcher-Thank you for your NOT positive comment I do not mind ANY HUMAN BEING Muslim non muslims I do concentrate on things THAT MATTER religious affiliation for me DOES NOT MATTER

[Representative45]

what do muslims have to do with south america and Obama?

Its a good point that colombia has an Israely autonomy from the south american states.

[ninigreen7]

An excellent discussion about South America and I hope that Senator Obama being as open minded as he shows to be will get competent advice on the matter...there is a need to address these issues competently

[prosvjeta]

come on lefties don't be hypocrites!

if you want to stay real americans, to be able to:

- eat huge masses of McD, KFC,

- consume gallons and gallons of oil (not to go by foot but to drive a car)

- buy masses of stupid High-tech-stuff or fashionable clothes over and over coz there is nothing else in your life that makes sense or can make you feel good

- and to continiue living beyond your means

you have to enslave s.america and invade iran. so stop bitching and start to wave the flag

[Vektor417]

CHAVEZ=GOOD ^-^

[lastnymleft]

No! No! No! No! PLEASE, DO NOT form a "Union of South American States", or whatever you want to call. Just when it seems that the South American nations have thrown off the shackles of colonialism, and are starting to fight back, this rears its ugly head. I shudder when I hear Council on Foreign Relations mentioned in such contexts. They are EVIL, and the centralization of more-controllable power is what they seek.

"Columbia = The Israel of South America"

Not a good rep for Columbia to have.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

Maybe I missed something in your post, but greater unity among Latin American countries is crucial to strenghtening regional independence faced with large foreign powers.

[Irondukesteve]

theREALnews freakin rocks. I love these guys and donate monthly to them. They really do provide such a good resource for world news.

[flyingbird0214]

"Colombia really looks like the Israel of South America." Israel bombed Lebanon for a few weeks after two soldiers were kidnapped by Hezbollah, bombed some buildings in Syria claiming they were used for nuclear research, bombs Gaza regularly in response to attacks from Gaza, and has kidnapped and murdered people from and in other countries. Colombia bombed a guerrilla camp in the border with Ecuador once. How can you compare the actions of these two countries?

[flyingbird0214]

Of course, comparing any country to the so hated, in leftist circle, Zionists and Israel is the best way to demonize any country and its people.

Suddenly The Real News treating Obama as if the man had political leprosy (no offense to any leprous out there). His positions are the most progressive you are going to get from the two major parties. He's not saint of my devotion, for once I'm an atheist, but he isn't that bad. These people are making him look like Damian, the Antichrist, The Omen X.

[historywillabsolve]

are you people actually listening to what he says?he compared Colombia to Israel because both states are US clients that act outside international law whenever it suits them.Colombia is the greatest destabilizer in the region, just like Israel in the Mid-East before the Iraq war.who else in LA invades countries and then claims the Bush Doctrine as a justification? Only Uribush because he's a US-backed stooge fighting a phony "drug war" that mysteriously ends up killing thousands of labor leaders

[flyingbird0214]

Please, clarify the question "who else in LA invades countries and then claims the Bush Doctrine as a justification?" Last time I check Colombia didn't invade any country. They violated the sovereignty of Ecuador when they attacked a guerrilla camp that while taking refuge in a foreign country was attacking Colombia. Are you familiar with the actions of the FARC?

[historywillabsolve]

there is no right in international law to engage in military attacks unless it is an immediate continuation of a conflict that begin within your own borders. Uribe violated this principled and essentially used the Bush Doctrine as a justification.

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

100% correct.

[flyingbird0214]

As I said, using Israel as a way to demonized countries is wrong. It's is fanciful in the left these days when the separation between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism are becoming too blurry.

By the way, that's not Bush Doctrine. The doctrine of following enemies to another country where they are protected or launch attacks from a foreign country is older than Bush. Please, don't give Bush that much credit. Not even preemptive attacks are Bush's idea.

[historywillabsolve]

no, what's fanciful is pulling out the "anti-Semite" card whenever someone criticizes Israeli policy, or saying we are "demonizing" Colombia for comparing its actions to those of another close US ally.

[historywillabsolve]

that's not what the Bush Doctrine is either.

"The grand strategy authorises the US to carry out preventive war: preventive, not pre-emptive. Whatever the justifications for pre-emptive war might be, they do not hold for preventive war, particularly as that concept is interpreted by its current enthusiasts: the use of military force to eliminate an invented or imagined threat, so that even the term "preventive" is too charitable. -Noam Chomsky

[flyingbird0214]

Another follower of Chomsky that worship Chavez and Crazy Iranian President whatever his name is. You are too deluded to even waste time answering. Go burn another candle for Saint Chomsky.

[historywillabsolve]

whatever dude. keep making those poison leaded toys. lol

[flyingbird0214]

Wow! If you can't win the argument attack the people. I guess you are not only a regular racist, but also a hardcore anti Semitic. Are you also a homophobe and a Chomsky anarchist?  Love the contradiction.

[historywillabsolve]

anti-Semitic? Chomsky himself is jewish. I have nothing against Jewish people themselves just Israel's inhumane imperialist agenda. Is this how you debate people? Just accuse them of anything that comes to mind and hope it sticks? Sad.

[flyingbird0214]

I wasn't the one that came with some lousy racist comment against Chinese people. Fuck you, racist asshole!

[victorius02]

By the way, many of Chomsly crazy fans are pretty anti-Semitic.

[vititom]

Not that it's any of my problems, I'm neither American or Chinese, but it looks like making poison leaded toys is a formula for success. Read The New York Times article of China lecturing the US on economic and financial policies. Who would have thought of the Yanks getting a lesson from the Chinese and the Saudis?

Let's try to avoid comments that offend people on issues like ethnicity, nationality, sexual orientation, and the like. I'm sure it's not considered appropriate south of the border.

[flyingbird0214]

Colombia does have problems. The paramilitary is indeed a problem. Government corruption and lack of security and attacks on organized labor are also a problem. However, the guerrillas stopped long ago fighting for the people. Many countries get help from the US. Do that make them US backed stooges as well?

[Obama4ever]

I don't think get the point of flyingbird either. In fact, flyingbird pointed out all the things Israel has done that destabilize the region in the second sentence. The issue, as I see it, is that Colombia can't be compare to Israel because it's actions don't come even close. It isn't the same situation.

It's a trend to support Ahmadinejad and Chavez. At least by those living outside their countries because those gays executed and women sent to prison in Iran don't really like their governemnt.

[historywillabsolve]

they don't compare? let's see the similarities shall we.

1. both states receive billions in military aid from the US, not to mention political/diplomatic support

2. both states have two of the worst human rights records in the world, and are some of the most violent/unstable parts of the region

[historywillabsolve]

3. both of them commit flagrant violations of international law and are defended by the US despite world opinion being against them

4. both act as strategic beachheads for the US to project power or exert military leverage in the Mid-East and Latin America

i could go on but those are some of the obvious parallels

[NicosNicosNicosNicos]

Well summed-up. They are also both exponents of the Bush "war on terror" nonsense doctrine (meaning killing civilians under guise of a war).

[Obama4ever]

Chavez has being losing power in his own country after losing the last referendum. Many people in Venezuela, including some of his supporters are wondering why he is wasting the oil resources trying to buy out poorer countries.

Having a photo of them in your profile, just show that you follow the latest fashion, not that you actually know what they stand for.

[historywillabsolve]

rofl what the hell are you talking about. the most recent opinion poll (june 13) by the Venezuelan Institute for Data Analysis shows 73.9% of people approve of Chavez's policies. 43.2% view the opposition in a negative light. only 22.7% identify with the opposition parties, 32.4% are independent, 45% identify with the pro-government parties. 62.7% say their situation has improved in the past 3 years. CHAVEZ HAS A MOVEMENT BEHIND HIM, OBAMA HAS A FAN CLUB.

[flyingbird0214]

That's why he won the referendum, too much support, right? You are really deluded. Keep spitting your propaganda.

[historywillabsolve]

he narrowly lost the refernedum for a complex set of reasons, doesn't mean the man is still not wildly popular, or that most of those proposals won't be made into law piecemeal eventually. maybe you should work as Uribush's press agent because you seem to believe his lies so easily. pathetic.

[flyingbird0214]

LOL! A set of reasons. Truly deluded. I love it.

[historywillabsolve]

yes flyingbird, a set of reasons. there is a reason for everything. what motivates you to continue your sorry existence? find TheRealNews video that goes into detail and explains why chavez lost. you might be disappointed that it goes beyond simply "CHAVEZ= BAD" but that's life.

[flyingbird0214]

You are too simplistic. Just another fanatic without reasons.

[Vektor417]

obabush

[vallejoelgrande]

Obama has advocated for the good neighbor approach to LA, including more diplomatic, commerical and cultural engagement--via less restrictions on travel and remittance--with Cuba. I suggest his speech at the Cuban-American Foundation be read or watched in its entirety before he's so erroneously criticized.

[SCODgreenhood]

Its not anti-Obama, but it does dwell on his conservative Latin-America positions. Once again, good job talking about real things in the real world, not on the main-stream fake news. *****

[magiorey]

Excelent analysis, too bad the Real News don't cover the situation in latinamerica more, things are getting pretty hot here- it looks like war and a civil war in Colombia are very likely right now

[teemuruskeepaa]

I refuse to see this Ex-pro-Paul, anti-Obama biased bullshit

[saasaasaa010101]

Where is Ron Paul in this piece?

I will vote for Obama because he is the democratic candidate, he only represents symbolic change (a black face in unsuspecting high place), I really don't expect much else.

[Vektor417]

denial ain't no rivah...

[teemuruskeepaa]

I would vote for his really anti-Obama porn. TRNN was pro-Paul.
