What makes America right?

[maxwell's demon]

don't be a hypocrite, strike.

you've been picking and choosing what deserves your considered responses to all along.

 

[Corinthian™]

*ahem*

strangly enough, when you say insurgent you think of bad people... but to me the first thing that comes to my mind is liberation from oppresors.... not saying that USA is the oppresor... just that it comes to my mind every time I hear that word... and I think I'm not the only one here...

It might be perhaps that here, the ones that stood against the evil spanish empire were the insurgents..

Strange thing how a word has different meanings to the people....

Sorry to bother the course of the conversation... carry on

 

[bored]

Cute huh?

I like it when you complain, it's nice.

You Rag on both sides

you complain.

When asked what should be done.....

You reply..."uhhh....uhhhh....I dunno"

I have laid the facts out for you.

It's up to you to accept the truth.

actually, i think he's countered your ideas quite well.

 

[The Spawn]

We have bigger guns...that no one else is allowed to have.

Man, this thread is older than Bush's foreign policy. I'll be here all week.

Very nice, you didn't answer the question. What gives America the right to police the world? Why do we hold the moral high ground?

It shouldn't be this hard to answer. If we can invade countries at will then there must be a reason. Saddam Hussein was a bad man. Why though do we have the right to make the decision on whether he stayed or left? The question isn't this so don't answer it I'm not intrested in it. I'm interested in the question of: What makes America right?

Why do you keep telling people who answer your questions, the way they see it, that they didn't answer your question??? They answered! Just say you didn't like the answer they gave.

You obviously have an opinion about this and in your mind, you think you have the correct answer.

So just spit it out, son.

NO irony here whatsoever.

walk along.

What gives America the right to police the world?

I don't know, why don't you ask a citizen of Cuba if we had the right to police the world in 1898.

Or ask a French citizen from 1918 if he was happy the US got involved in that "European War."

Better yet, ask a holocaust survivor if they were pleased the US policed the world in 1945.

Ask the Germans in western Germany if they were happy to have us, and not the Soviets in the backyards.*

The Kuwaitis were pleased that the US liberated them from Saddam.*

The South Koreans appreciated US intervention in 1950*

Other than the Somalians and the Vietnamese* most people have gladly granted the US the right to police the world.

*All these events are post WWII and are therefore policing actions of the United Nations and not of the United States.

 

[Kritish]

Me.

You've got AIDS, therefore anything you say is from the devil!

 

[Caliber]

America isn't better than anyone else. America just hides its true side and makes itself look better by looking kind to those it chooses. Plus america picks its fight when it comes to dealing with an issue.

Ask those people in Taiwan, too.

we've learned how to clone blue eyed blonde babies.
and that's all you need to be right.

 

[Guhndoi]

Asia. It's to the right of Asia.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

This should be moved to politics.

Nukes. Lots and lots of nukes.
