Re: GRAPHIC - U.S. Soldiers Shrapnels & Gunshot Wounded in ER
You make some good points there nik. I guess what I'm saying is a big part of the reason the UN has no real authority is countrys like the US and others with veto power put politics ahead of human rights. Israel has over 60 UN resolutions against it. Do you know why there are no sanctions? Because the US consistently vetos them for political reasons, if any American politician did differently APEC would get them tossed. You bring up that I always seem to be on the side of evil, but it isn't a black & white good & evil world. America supported Saddam against Iran, gave him WMD's...... Supported the shah in Iran, actually overthrew an elected ruler in Iran and put the Brutal Shah in power. Which is why when the shah was overthrown Iran hated America. Pinochet in Chile. Look into him and what Americas role in Chile was. Even the Mujahadeen and Osama..... who trained and funded them? Seriously, you tell me if they were good people? America supported all of them. I'm not saying America isn't or can't be a great force for good things, but pretending your hands are clean is just silly. |

Re: GRAPHIC - U.S. Soldiers Shrapnels & Gunshot Wounded in ER
Any extremism on either side cannot be tolerated. I guess my biggest question is how much would Muslim extremism be reduced if American policy was not so hypocricical? I honestly believe there is a direct connection between American meddling in that region and Muslim terrorism..... theres a reason that terror attacks are not being committed by people from Iceland. |
