the first mistake in your post is not seperating the American government with the American people. They are not the same entity.....and I'm not a fan of Lacrosse.
There is something that has been bothering me for, .. a couple of decades:
We gno that the American public, doesn’t ‘give-a-damn’, what the world thinks of them, .. unless they are in the middle of losing a war, badly.
For this reason alone, .. we hold our tongues on many issues, for fear of being the next bombing target.
Now,.. a brave little Semitic family in what was once called Persia, is sacrificing some 300 persons a day,… & costing America 10 Billion $/month,.. to put an end,.. to what we have all hated since 1812.
America’s “Manifest Destiny”.
America’s notion,.. that, if they can see it,.. they own it.
-1812 was the last physical invasion of Canada. Our Mohawk/Iroquois, chased the punks back to D.C. & set fire to the “Out-house”. (This is why it had to be painted “White”). Lacrosse is a wonderful game.
Incidentally, the Mohawk/Iroquois, still have our cops scared shitless & Soldier of Fortune magazine, did a nice little blurb during the late 80’s “Oka” thing,.. that the Canadian Army,.. may be outgunned by this smaller sovereign nation. (Hey ‘les boys’,.. if you’re listening,.. thanks for the smokes,.. we can’t taste the tax on them at all!)
Perhaps now,.. America can hear, .. with an open heart,.. just what,.. we are all choked about!
The great hypocrisy sticks in our craw!
America has always claimed to be doing the greater good. When confronted with its atrocities,… America always claims that they are not evil,.. just incompetent!. Yet it still wants to be in charge.
----We are all bored with YOUR state sanctioned, criminal terrorist group,.. the C.I.A. . Only through bullying by your government,.. do free countries not extradite these criminals to face true justice.
--Your terrorist training camp “THE SCHOOL OF THE AMERICAS” produces persons who attack civilian targets… with government approval.
-- We have not forgiven you for A-bombing two civilian targets in Japan, .. in 1945, .. to prevent them from surrendering to your ally, Russia.
-- From the assassination of a democratically elected leader in Chile in 1975,.. (& the subsequent torture & disappearing of those who voted for him,..)
This thread was meant as a list. Post here, the atrocities, that America has committed. America will not care,.. but they will no longer be able to claim innocence.
--- on torture: we know that it serves no benefit but the personal gratification of the torturer. So, when your torturers are gratifying themselves, .. do they most often,.. think of ‘mom’, ‘the flag’, or ‘apple-pie’?
We understand the need for GITMO,.. without it,.. you could not truthfully say that, there are human rights abuses in Cuba!
