Judging from the content of your post, and following your intelligent line of reasoning, you must be an American too.

Just a tad too self-critical

by mediawatcher Wednesday, Mar. 26, 2003 at 8:55 PM

Let's not overdo it. I think it is better to say that

many Americans are gullible and uninformed, not stupid.

But that is changing. If you're talking about public

opinion, don't be decieved by bullshit gallup polls that are based on 700 to 800 respondents in targeted demographic

markets with skewed questions.

In addition, recently, the poll on the MSN webpage showed that more Americans were changing their minds and starting

to oppose the war. But then MSN promptly removed the poll

from its URL.

Also, as opposed to the US-sanctioned Arabic talking heads

on FUCKEDNEWS this weekend who were claiming that Arabic

nations like Syria and Jordan were supporting coalition

forces, independent journalists have revealed that

demonstrations against the US invasion are now taking

place in Syria, a nation that was angrily against

Hussein.

The tide is turing and can't be stopped.

How would you know if Americans are dumb if you never met one? You can judge a country by what you see on TV! I don't turn to some show on Britian, or Russia and automatically think ""Oh, all the people of that country act like that, they are stupid""

Its just a close minded way to think, I am guessing you are American playing a joke to start a flamer, British, or Asian

Non hued Americans, continue to ignore your racist ways, suck up your mind numbing drugs, eat your poisoned genetically altered foods, believe yourselves to be just, and supreme in your whiteness. By the 2004 election, things will be so far gone, it may not matter. Ever wonder why Bush financial planners have jumped ship? They know the old creeps and their minions are robbing the nation blind! Now they want 74 billion dollars for a mere 6 months, and make no mention of the dying economy?! Can you say Enron pension fund? You sat by and did nothing believing in "chads" while the Nazi Bush Junta took over the White House. Now we have a cast of war mongering (never fought one) old fuck crypt keepin bastards, out to murder for white supremacy and control of the globes oil. We remain stupid citizens as long as we allow these sick repltiles to remain in office.

The only way to get smart - IMPEACH THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION. Or we will continue to suffer and worse.

To Mia P,

I am disturbed and saddened by your comments. With regard to US support of Saddam's atrocities, you said "let the past be the past, focus on the FUTURE." If that is what you truly believe, then you must also forgive Saddam for his actions in the same way that you so eagerly forgave your fellow countrymen. If you believe that U.S. officials should be forgiven simply because they are American and therefore above the law, then you do not believe in justice. Else you hold a rather twisted view of justice.

As for the "FUTURE" statement and as to why human rights abuse and US support of it during Saddam's rule in the 1980s is even an issue, it is because as the United States goes to war to rid the world of a "brutal dictator" who is guilty of war crimes, it is still funding brutal regimes and dictators throughout the world. For example, the Turkish government, who is responsible for despicable atrocities against the Kurds (the Kurds being among the people groups you claim to be liberating), has been offered financial aid in the form of grants and loans in exchange for support of the US war. The Turkish government continues to discriminate and even persecute the Kurds. So in lieu of your argument about focusing on the FUTURE, it becomes obvious that the US government, in spite of your having forgiven them, has not learned its lesson about supporting brutal regimes around the world.

Saudi Arabia serves as yet another example of a brutal regime supported by the US.

Angola, a country which the US has welcomed with open arms into the "coalition of the willing", is currently ruled by a government that is guilty of the EXACT SAME repression of political dissidents that Saddam is. It is a shame that the US even associates with such a government.

Israel is a country that has repeatedly violated UN resolutions, and a country that frequently violates the Geneva convention (be aware that Rumsfield - representing the U.S. - recently condemned the Iraqis for violating the Geneva convention with regard to the treatment of US P.O.W.s. The US has never condemned Israel for its violation of the Geneva convention). In spite of these facts, the US not only provides financial aid, but also military aid to Israel - a country that discriminates heavily against its even its own Israeli-Arab population.

Meanwhile, as the CIA have said, as the FBI has said, and as British intelligence have said, there is no link whatsoever between Osama Bin Ladin and Saddam Hussein. Bush, by saying Al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein in the same sentence numerous times, has managed to convince 51% of Americans that Iraq was inherently responsible for the September 11th attacks. A significant number of Americans also believe that over half the number of hijackers were Iraqi, when in fact none of them were.

As for Bin Ladin's hostility towards the United States, please keep in mind the following: Osama Bin Ladin and the Saudi Arabian regime are at odds - Bin Ladin views the Saudi Regime as corrupt and wishes to overthrow the Saudi government. The U.S. supports the Saudi regime. In addition, the U.S. stations troops in Saudi Arabia who, admittedly fairly enough, Bin Laden and religious figures in the Middle East claim "desecrate" the Holy Land. Also keep in mind that the troops are there for no other reason than to protect the Saudi regime.

Some people have claimed Osama Bin Ladin is simply jealous of the American lifestyle and that is why he is hostile towards the US. By "American lifestyle," I assume they mean the standard of living and equality one can experience in America. Let it be known that Osama Bin Ladin was part of the Bin Ladin family, which owned Bin Ladin Construction, a highly successful, multi-million dollar construction company. Bin Ladin's own wealth was estimated to be somewhere between 0-300 million. Being a rich, prominent, MALE, in OIL RICH Saudi Arabia, one can expect nothing less than the MOST luxurious lifestyle IN THE WORLD. One can expect to be treated like a god. This is a lifestyle that Osama willingly gave up.

So the main points of my argument are:

1) Human Rights abuse should be condemned as those guilty of war crimes should be punished. EVEN if they are American. Being American does not make you above the law... unless you don't believe in justice.

2) The United States will be engaged in a hypocritical war for as long as it neglects to acknowledge its role in the murders of thousands under Saddam's rule during the 1980s.

3) The United States, in lieu of its founding principles, should immediately stop supporting brutal regimes - meaning cease all political, economic, moral and military to support to guilty states.

4) The link between Al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein does not exist.

once again sincerely,

The New X
