eisanbt Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 Now thats an idiot. To ashamed of his nation to admit it. He's probably a Canadian, I know that distinct oder that comes from us all. I'll just toss this in: 1) You can oppose war in Iraq and the war on terror, or the US and the War on terror as it can be argued that american dictators are assholes too, there is validity to that argument. (Did I say dictators? opps.) 2) If i were in the leader of another country, taking into consideration America's history of war (not saying its the only one, but its been pretty much non-stop for that past 100years or so) And the many examples of imperialism, AND that (in this 'perfect world' )they were the only one's with nuclear capabilities, then I'd be scared shitless and realize that if I'm to protect my nation I need nuclear leverage or undergo the huge risk that I'll just be threatened with a nuclear stirke and be force to bend to any demand made. Obviously nukes are BS and should be done away with completely, but that isn't going to happen. Therefore for there to be any kind of "Safety" you can't have all this world ending power in the hands of one nation. Seriously, if the US had the Nuke monopoly and just decided to nuke iraq, or even France, how many US residence do you think would do more then laugh? (I''m not insuating that this would only happen in the US, people are generally apathetic, i find so anyway) Now there'd certainly be more then one yelling at the government but the public is easily silenced or swayed. And if any other country said "Fuck off" they could just as easily be done away with or 'put in their place' If a country has the power to rule all, it will. (Unless its Tibet ). The russians were sneding missiles to Cuba, which would have resulted in the end of the US, and probably global domination, but only becuase the US could retaliate was that crises averted. A country can be a dictator as well, I doubt any of us wish to see such a day. Quote http://www.boohbah.com/zone.html "It's a poor sort of memory that only works backwards" -Lewis Carroll
cybacaT Posted November 9, 2005 Posted November 9, 2005 wolfie I don't hate all Americans. Just the arrogant ones who accuse people from other countries of being arrogant and laugh at other countries who are being attacked by terrorists and then get angry when someone does the same thing to them. I understand your point, but here's the difference. Countries like the US and Australia have been cautious in pointing out the problems that extreme islam poses. They have reviewed their immigration policies to try and filter out terrorists. They have increased security to try and stop islamic terrorists. Meanwhile the French have publicly preached the message of blind tolerance to other countries, but privately practiced inequality by segregating these groups. The French govt has shown arrogance, and it's come back to bite them on the bum. And the point of me editing the original post was to show the similarities between the two countries. Not all French people are arrogant just like not all Americans are arrogant. I just get annoyed when people figure that EVERYONE from a country act the same way. Not all are the same, but the population votes govts in, and the govt stance is what's being commented on. The French govt has acted arrogantly for as long as I can remember, and that arrogance is what people here are commenting on. Quote
