Is it wrong to support despot governments throughout the world for our own good?
Killing people for your own good??? Causing the repression and enslaving of people for your own good??? That is precisely how the world got in the shabby mess it is in.

I think not said:Ooooo, the world is morally awake and know moral bankruptcy when they see it. They see it in the stupid talk shows (and the so called reality shows), the brutally violent movies coming out of our film studios, and all of the DAMN WARS our country starts, they know that SOMETHING is wrong with our country, because none of that crap would fly anywhere in the world even for a second.
But why play with words, oh America, you are the quintessential evil of the world, from the time of the Indian slaughters to the Iraq invasion, you can never do any good. You have but one purpose, world domination. To do so, you kill your own citizens, install tin pot dictators the world over, you obstruct the spread of communism in the name of profit. You are a beacon of greed, consumerism and materialism. You dumb down your population through the media controlled by the evil corporations.
Chinese believe that the United States deliberately started the SARS epidemic; Islamic leaders in three Nigerian states blocked critical polio inoculations for children, denouncing them as a U.S. plot to spread AIDS or infertility among Muslims. And best-selling books in France and Germany claim that 9/11 was a propaganda stunt by American intelligence agencies and the military industrial complex.
Ah America, the world sees you for what you are.

Just a quick off topic word.
I shortened your URL in an earlier post. It was causing so much side scroll that a decent sized paragragh was converted to a line and a half deep, but about four feet long. Check out:

I believe real solutions must come from within the USA, you have to provide democracy in your own country, many believe a new American civil war is in order.

In the process, the USA caused the end of life for several million people, and condemned many millions more to a life of agony and despair. William Blum - author of Rogue State :evil:

And how many from those ended up to democracy?? a big nothing.
Huck said:well, they actually removed some democracies, like the democratically elelcted Salvador Allende of chile and replaced him by pinochet... Some also beleive that they have tried with Chavez (and may try again).
certain ex-usa afflicted countries are democracies, but with a small 'd'.

Finder said:The cold war was a 50/50 thing. Both sides did wrong things so thanks for nothing again USA.
Finder said:Oh and one mans freedom fighter is another's terorist, just as in one persons liberator is another's conqourer.
Finder said:I guess you could also see it this way. The USA in the 80's loved Osama, funded him and supported his allies too. Just for him to find a new terorist target the usa.
Also the USA also supported Saddam in the 80's as he fought Iran. We all know how that has turned out. yeah. No thanks again USA.
Finder said:Jesus, the list is so long. In the end there were few differences between the USSR and the USA... in the end you could say the USA has better PR. *shrugs*...
