Interestingly, when the US acts, people get pissed off. When we do not act, people get pissed off. So, we might as well do whatever we want and there is no pleasing everyone If we went into Darfur right now or even at the beginning, I am sure you would find some reason to hate Bush for it even if we did a great job. Thus, the state of political commentary. I mean you, and others, seem to rejoice on the bad acts and never bring up the good ones. Just an observation |

As if we're the only country who has ever done ****ty things... Quote:
I do think more needs to be done for our own people- but I also think people need to start doing more for themselves...AND I think there are a lot of people doing great things for the people of this country...it's not enough - but I don't know that it will ever be enough... |

Interestingly, and in an attempt to drive your blood pressure through the roof - couldn't it be argued that the invasion of Iraq was an attempt by the US to stop the genocide there? Certainly SH was doing the same types of things as other places? I get that W and the bozos lied about it and are horrible people, but assuming as history demonstrates that resistence would occur anywhere we asserted our peacekeeping, Iraq from that point of view was a good thing I am not saying we should have gone or the reasons we went were anything but lies. I am just saying that hopefully, with the US' help, genocide will no longer occur in Iraq, though that possible instance does not excuse the lies since 1992. |

I am just saying you always talk about the bad things. You never say, "hey that was a good thing," which is hardly on the level of false intent with a plastic flag - which I would never accuse you of

Okay - but America IS a great country I'm not saying it's the greatest - but many here do get opportunities etc that one would not get elsewhere And I hate this argument - but some of the things you say do beg the question - then why stay here? if it's such an atrocious place - then why not go elsewhere? I get that the US has done bad things - but I maintain that other countries have as well...regardless of superpower status....atrocities are atrocities... |
