Gee, with that bit of monster logic, let's say this: If you don't like the president that your country elected there is a simple solution. Change your citizenship.

Countdown to RS blather...5, 4, 3, 2...

You, sir, are quite right. The US has a long history of supporting repressive regimes in the Middle East and elsewhere that has resulted in the slaughter of hundreds of thousands, at the very least, who did not deserve to be slaughtered. Indonesia and the Year of Living Dangerously leaps to mind but there is a long enough list that even America's opiated mainstream media cannot hide the truth from anyone who seriously wants to know. They laugh bitterly as our own Caligula struts and rants about his faux democracy and his brain-dead sychophants -- a significant contingency of whom declaim ad naseum a la Rush on this discussion board about "those barbarians -- the dastardly Muslims."


More often than the US supported bad guys against other bad guys . By the way what do you mean supporting repressive regimes in the mid east ? could you go into some detail.

Do you consider trade to be support?

Until America has a decent foreign policy such attitudes from others will continue. Naturally, others will now say, "Well, what about so-and-so? They (that country) does awful things even worse than the USA." And they're probably right. But when the USA spends more money on the instruments of killing than the rest of the world combined, its attitudes and foreign policy are obviously more important than the other despotic regimes simply because it has the capacitly to kill more innocents than the rest of the world combined. Duh.


the US spends more money but US forces are more expensive too.

I would guess the US spends about 25 times what North Korea spends on each solder, but I bet one US solider could not beat 25 North Korean soldiers.

Plus the US spends more than anyone else cause it has an economy bigger than anyone else.

And last just about all the regimes hostile to the US over the last 30 years were run by totalitarian aggressive thugs -most of whom didn't let their own citizens leave. I don't think that is a coincidence.

judge the US by those who hate it.
