You are naive, mansman. These men do not have to "get" rich. They are
already rich. It is the abuse of power aginst which I am complaining. You fail to understand that this grab for money and power is not dangerous to those who pursue it! They are risking
other people's lives, and shielding themselves with the mantle of "elected" office. Do you really think they have made the USA safer from attacks abroad and terrorism within? Do you think Dick Cheney has not profited himself and his oil-industry cronies?
I think you blind if you not see concern your goverment has for American people, that long range plan is to contain maniacs growth on all over small globe in only way that works with insane people- force. If they make some costly mistake along way it only mean there judgment not perfect (like everyone else I know) but not mean heart is not for nation and hole world even.
I think
you are blind if you do not see the culpability of this administration. I am not saying every government employee is unconcerned for the American public! Where did you get that? I think many within the government - and a good majority of the public - are afraid of the heavy handed tactics the Bush Administration uses to accomplish its goals and stifle oppostion. I think most of our elected legislators do have concern for America and the safety of its people. I think they, and the public, have lent support to the Administration out of good faith. I believe this faith has been betrayed.
Admit to yourself your problem is you emotion is to high and blocks your ability to judge these great men acturatly.
I admit that my concern runs deep. And I believe my ability to judge the men responsible for this invasion and occupation of a sovereign state without just cause is not clouded in the slightest.
Some day truth is better known when safe to reveal to your people, then you think back at strong wrong statement you make against your very own leaders. Ever think maybe if you type not make so much pressure on your faithful servants in goverment they can relax and think more clearly and do better job.
The truth in its entirety is likely to be officially obfuscated for many years to come. And I believe the exact opposite of what you say will transpire: I think when the facts all do come out, those people who supported Bush's foreign policy will see they were mistaken. It is already happening. I think you should wake up.
So blame first YOURSELF if you think gas price sucks, what spoiled people never I see such spoiled people as in USA.
I was not compaining about the gas prices! I was complaining about the destruction of another nation's infrastructure. And yes, many Americans are spoiled when it comes to gas prices, myself included.
That's why I don't complain about them. Really, mansman, you have a narrow, prejudiced view of Americans. We are not all the same. We don't all think alike.
Im sorry but seem you need outside perspective, maybe now you come to your senses and act in way that better situation instead put more nails in coffin. Really, how ridiculous to blame handful of people in democracy where millions partake in actions with this handful of people.
You seem to want to blame all Americans for the foreign policy of the American government, yet criticize us when we oppose it. Isn't that ridiculous? Maybe your "outside perspective" is a limited one and poorly thought-out. It rather speaks of your prejudice against Americans in general. If non-Americans such as yourself have a dim view of America, it is precisely because we follow our leaders too blindly.
If the Bush Administration invaded Iraq on faulty intelligence, then it is their responsibility to contain the damage that resulted. Some way, somehow, when it became clear that Iraq was in no way a military threat to the United States, the occupation process should have been reversed. It is not necessary to admit that a mistake was made. They have access to the best spin doctors in the world. Call it whatever you want.
Just fix the mistake. It is shameful to maintain this illegal and unwarranted occupation at the expense of human lives, both Iraqi and American. You, mansman, are conceding way too much to those in power in Washington.
And you are ignorant of how "democracy" works. There is no such thing, first of all. Our leaders are chosen by a power elite, and then voted on. The majority of Americans do not usually participate in the voting, so we accept a sort of "quorum" result. And in Bush's case, the majority of the eloctorate that did vote voted for the
other guy. Perhaps you were unaware of that.
You seem like you have a chip on your shoulder against American that is so emotional, you want to somehow exonerate its leaders so you can more clearly hate its citizens.
You do not understand who is responsible for the US and British rape of Iraq.
Have you guts to express rage against holy "troops" who act with complete free will to be where they are and want muslims dead even more than your president? Let me see you curse the soldiers WITHOUT any excuses, right now right here you "brave" TWO, let me see you rail against the real killers of muslims and their families, have you the guts?
What "holy troops" are you talking about? American troops? Are you insane? You think because this is a volunteer army that US troops have "complete free will" in if and where they are deployed? To most American servicemen, this is a job. Their job is to follow their orders when they receive them. These men and women do not want to ship out and leave their families behind. How many US servicemen do you know, have you ever known? These brave young people signed on to serve their country, they get minimally compensated for it, and they place themselves in danger when they are ordered to do so. Their orders come from their superiors.
The commander-in-chief is a fucking civilian, asshole! It is George W. Bush, the leader you are defending and whose responsibility every Muslim death abroad due to US military action it ultimately is.
I do not know where you are from, but if you were from this country, you would understand the deep loyalty and support Americans have for their soldiers. These are our sons and daughters. These are parents of young children. They neither make US policy nor have the power to circumvent it.
Now we will see
See what, exactly? If I and other Americans are to blame for the mess that is US foreign policy, it is not because we criticized our leaders too much, but too little. Are you so blind with anti-US bigotry and hatred, that you cannot see that? If so, you opinion is worth nothing.
