Oh dammit, where's the one that condemns Israel for violating the air space of Uganda during the Entebbe rescue? When you understand that one, you will be on the fist step to understanding most of them.

So, the US invaded Iraq because it ignored UN resolutions and supposedly had WMD.

Israel has ignored far too UN resolutions to count, and they have the largest amount of undisclosed WMD in the region.

Iraq gets invaded while Israel gets 3 billion from the US annually with a cherry on top.

I don't remember a UN resolution that threatened to use "all force necessary or any means necessary" against Israel.

I don't remember one either, but it might be useful. If we're going after one human-rights violator that wants WMDs maybe we should go after the other one that ACTUALLY has nuclear weapons.

Don't think we could take on both China and North Korea. ;)

Let me help you guys: George Bush is more responsible for anti-US sentiment than George Washington or the Tooth Fairy.

Even if anyone ever even dreamt of such a resolution, it would be vetoed by the US as soon as they read "Israel" in the subject heading. There will never be a resolution even mildly critical of Israel that the US won't veto, that'ws what being someones biatch is all about.

Actually I'm a little pissed at the Arabs. They let their societies get to where they ferment fundemtilists that blow up embassies, ships and ram planes into buildings full of innocent people. They let a dictator kill and live of other Arabs and turn a blind eye to his atrocities.

Then they get upset when the bad guys they ignored are finally dealt with. I consider them quite hypocritical.

Actually I'm a little pissed off at the US for supporting regimes like Mubarak and the House of Saud that treat their citizens like scum, while at the same time pretending to "promote democracy". I'm pissed off at the US for not supporting the democratic movement in Iran. I'm pissed off at the US for giving Saddam the WMD he used to kill thousands and then invading Iraq to "disarm" him. I'm pissed off at the US for its support for the Mujahiddin and then leaving them once we no longer need them to end up creating the Taliban. When I say I'm pissed off at the US I mean I am pissed of the successive administrations that have screwed things up and I'm pissed off at us Americans for not demanding change. That said, Bush has done a lot more to screw up things than others in recent memory have, this last Israeli ass kissing being a prime example.

Well at least you didn't turn terrorist and decide to kill innocent people.

Are you also pissed at France and Germany for providing many more weapons, chemicals and a nuclear reactor to Iraq? Are you pissed at them for refusing to accept that Saddam needed to be removed or do you think that he and his sons should have been left in power for generations to come?

Would you have been pissed if the US stayed in Afghanistan and tried nation building instead of leaving Afghanistan to the Afghanis. If not, why your ire about Iraq?

As for Israel, I just don't have the energy tonight to get into that one.

No I didn't turn to terrorism for the simple fact that as much as I disagree with the aformentioned policies, they have not direclty affected my life. I have not lost my home, had my family killed or my country destroyed as a result of the actions of a foreign nation. If I had, who knows, I hope I never have to find out. Yes, I i would be pissed off at France and Germany for giving them more weapons if in fact they did, but if that was the case, where are said weapons? Am I pissed off at them for saying Saddam did not need to be removed? I don't think anyone ever said that, just that invasion was not the right course of action, to which I agree. There are monsters far worse that Saddam and his sons lurking out there, so if altruism is what this is all about, we should have gone after them first. But we know what this war was all about so lets not get into that. As for Afghanistan, no, I don't think we should have stayed ther because we were never "there" to begin with (I'm talking about '89), however I do think we should have taken steps to make sure the country stabalized itself and did not fall into anarchy like it did. We got what we needed, we left them there to rot. And for Israel, whats the point of getting into it? They have us on a leash, been that way since the country was created, will remain that way long after I die. And all it will do is generate more hatred towards us without providing us with ANY benefit. The absurdity of our support for that country is amazing. I'm an American first, so I care about my countries well being first, supporting Isreal is the most pointless thing we've ever done.

Looks like the Arab world and I have something in common afterall... we both hate the US more than ever. For them it's no big surprise, but for me it's a sad realisation that I do not like my country very much anymore and am glad to be living elsewhere.

Only since I am able to look at things from the outside have I realised how much "we're the best and we're always the good guys!" bullshit I was spoonfed on a daily basis growing up in America. It makes me feel ill thinking about it.

Only some are smart enough to recognise this sort of thing while they are living in the midst of it... sadly I wasn't able to.

Oh well... the 'American idealogy' was good while I still bought it... the world was so much simpler through those eyes... I could comfort myself with the thought that I was on the 'right' side and never really had to face the harsh disturbing realities of what my country does to 'protect American interests' (such a nice clean bloodless phrase that)... it's just too bad I grew up and opened my eyes somewhere along the way... doh!

Hmmm, while I applaud people voting with their feet, I don't know if Australia is that much less barbarous than our United States. Aren't they part of the Iraqi Occupation "Stormtrooper" force?

its a bizaro world where limbaughs are all powerful, leading their millions of little ditto heads into angry furies

seriously, any place where people dance in the street when they hear of 3000 civilians dying because of terrorists driving planes into buildings just displays the pathology of a corrupt society.

Sharon is a known terrorist and the US applaud his actions to keep thousands of palestinians in camps while stealing THEIR land?

To me this only means one thing, the US does not give a flying fvck about terrorists, they hate muslims, and that is it, now if i see it this way, how do you think the muslim world sees it?

Don't confuse the US (or North America) with Europe. Europe hates muslims.

We do? yeah, now i remember, you posted some bs written by some european nutjub, didn't want to fess up to the selective bolding in that thread but used only those words you bolded in another, the word preceding your bolded part was NEVER. That word was the most important one, of course, to trolls like yourself, these tiny things do not matter, and before you ask who i was before i was banned, let me tell you that i have been a lurker for years.

You get a cookie, now go join Infohawk under that bridge.

Troll, not worth replying to other than to point out why you should be ignored.
