well, that is an extreme view, or just one way to look at it. But ya, there are soo many other factors involved in the things you've suggested. You're generalizing way too easily there on something that is impossible to generalize. with every event, there are soo many variables involved, that one cannot point to one sole reason for an even from happening. Don't act like some sort of clansman. It seems like you just talk a lot w/ a lot of emotion. I guess that's ok and all, but use that emotion to do something. Start up a business that sells stuff with other nations. Get the cash to flow all around the world. The more the world is integrated and reliant on a global economy, then humans in general will have a steady climb of higher standards of living. Business will rule, and will come first before any military decision. We can always dump our military on some remote places for humanitarian purposes (Africa, damn it).
I, really, don't relaly care for your opinion, since it really does not affect me. I will do something about what I feel is right by taking advantage of our ever-increasing global economy. That way everyone can theoretically take action and share in their wealth.
This obviously does not apply to lazy people who do nothing but bitch and moan and use harsh words, and yet, do nothing.
If you want your message across, go start a business, or be a part of a global business. Little things like that can go a long way. But talking big from misinformation will just lead to nothing.
Your argument that all the US wars are tied together, and US is shoving it around everywhere needs to be referenced. I can possibly see a link because my brain is trying to link everything all together. Obviously we weren't biult to understand the grand scheme of things and love to localize and generalize until we're happy. So yes, do read around a bit more, but do it from varying view points.
As for not stopping yet, what do you mean? WWII --> Japan attacks Pearl Harbor. There's reason to get into war now, and would you liked to have a facist government running Europe now? During the cold war, humans reverted to tactics to spread their idealisms on what they percieved as right. It was an ugly game for both sides, and smaller nations and their peoples suffered from it. You can't say it's entirely the US's doing. But really, what would have been better anyways? What were the other alternatives?
It's not just some simple "hmm, ok let's impose our will and idealism on these nations..." Your comments are oversimplistic.
as for iraq... The current admin is something that hates deliberation, and wants to get things underway as soon as possible. At first, it was a great idea, and had a lot of support. In hindsight, it's unpopular because it just feels like some quagmire that's hard to pull out of. At least the surrounding counties have one less aggresive regime to worry about. Of course, they also dont' like that the US is the one spearheading it. They wanted Saddam gone, but also, they didn't want US in there as well.
As for bush and his "holy war..."
Bush is using the red states of the US to do what he wants. To get their support, he uses a tactic of religion to garner their support. ok well, it's one of the many tactics. So it's not soley in the Name of God as you say. Iraq in the future can be a blessing in disguise for western nations; since, if US stays in Iraq for the next 20 or so years, then the western nations have a staging ground against other nations in that area. Iraq looks like it's ideally located right in the middle of the Mid East, so western nations and/or UN can have leverage in that area for the next couple of decades. This is obviously bad news for the people over there since it hurts their pride and ego, that some other group of nations can just impose their will upon them w/ a show of force. For the west, it's good news since now they have a legitimate government in the middle of the middle east to do whatever they want to do.
People shouldn't act so centralized. We are all humans. We are of one race. We are going global at an alarming rate, and we should accept it. I like the fact that China's getting stronger, and the Euro is getting stronger. It will make for a healthier global economy later on. many nations have the power and capability to help other nations in need (Africa, Mid East, etc). Yet, they don't do it. only US does it to help the repressed and hungry, yet of course, even with its "good intentions," they are executed in a (percieved) poorly manner.
I think all other nations should follow suite, create a global infrastructure good for business. At least China's doing something in Africa. Thing is, they're doing it w/ businessmen, and not with soldiers. But of course, everyone has pride and ego for their own people-types/clans/country.
wtf did i just type in? bah, too lazy to read my own thing and re-edit it for clarity. make your own generalizations 😛
