I don't like black people

[TheEnglish4ever]

The US in my opinion is stuck in a FINAL DESTINATION film,fate is saying this,you pull out the World will say you are defeated & the Dollar will collapse,stay and Obama will become unpopular the debt will get worse & put pressure on the Dollar anyway.

For me all roads lead to another Bush becoming US president in years to come probably Palin,USA is on a mission of self destruct,there is no way out of this is my opinion,the US is screwed.

The US is looking more like the last days of USSR.

The first black president = Major fail.

I knew it the whole time... *Shakes my head*

Nope never said that they weren't aware. So why did you pose the discussion topic concerning Iran and Sudan. Do you think the international community needs to get involved there?

[pedbabs]

thats a deliberate killing in order to take control of their wealth.are you trying to say that Americans are unaware of the risk involved in terms of civilian lives when they illegitimately role-in their tankers and jets to invade Iraq? certainly they know,but unmindful of the innocent lives coz they'r running short of energy and will do whatever it takes to control oil there.you can check out the alarm Bush raised at the beginning of his tenure.

@pedbabs

Of course they feel ashamed. No Soldier who truly believes he/she is trying to do the right thing feels good about accidentally killing the innocent. As for Iran & Sudan, dunno. Iranian theocracy subjugates their own people. No one from the West, besides sanctions wants to get involved. And it's obvious that the world doesnt care about Sudan. Otherwise, someone would've attempted to prevent the Arab minority from committing genocide against Sub-Saharan Africans like in Darfur.

[pedbabs]

yeah! thats the argument of the weak.whenever he runs out of concrete argument,he resolves to abuses or beating around the bush.anyway,even a kid in this information era must have watched in TV where American soldiers killed hundreds of civilians both in Iraq and Afghanistan.the latest one in Afghanistan was a brutal air strike on civilians that killed dozens including a 7 day old baby.Ain't they ashame of talking about protecting and defending civilians in other countries like Iran and Sudan?

@pedbabs

Dude, have you ever been to these places?!! Lemme know when u go over to Afghanistan & work there. And tell me the schools, bridges, retaining walls, civic centers, roads I helped built were peanuts. Again, neither the military nor the govt actively targeted noncombatants. It happens, it always happens. It's called war. Good guys?!!! I don't think the USA needs to legitimize itself to u. Where r u from? If these are "ugly acts" then half of the Western world is "guilty" too.

[pedbabs]

is this what u call rebuilding?after blowing-up a country's infrastructures,killing the ppl's love ones and making them homeless, u go back to reconstruct few of those things and pay some peanuts?is it by doing these u want ppl to see u as good guys.perhaps Bush authorized it.but Americans widely supported it then.hey posterity will not forgive this ugly act

[Quikgrits]

@pedbabs

But we have done decent job in rebuilding the country. Yet, I think that the concept of instilling democracy in countries that do not share our value is flawed. That idea doesnt work 4 everyone. Knowing Iraqis and Afghans, some just like being told what to do. If u think Bush is a war crim, so b it. But before you call Bush- "Hitler" or "Stalin" (which Bush can't be compared to them), are u saying that all Germans & Nazis, all Russians are "Stalinists," then u need 2 check ur logic.

@pedbabs

Secondly, the admin who OK'd the invasion of Iraq (of which I did not agree with b/c I did not see a link with the corrupt, criminal Baathist regime of S. Hussein with int'l terrorism) did not actively target the civilians but the current status quo. Was Saddam an asshole? Yes! DId he murder his own people? Yes! DId he start a war with Iran and Kuwait resulting in the deaths of many? Yes! But did we really need to invade? Not sure. Yes many civilians did die. It is called war.

@pedbabs

Let me break this down to you elementary school/ "Barney" style....Apparently a world that exists in various shades of gray does not exist in your part of the globe. Which means you do not live in reality. 1) Although US foreign policy apparently affects you, Amis who go to the voting polls vote for other issues that do not directly concern you, ie. health care, abortion, the environment, social security, etc. Just b/c Bush gets elected the 2x does not mean we all support the war.
