It’s almost silly of me to back America, but if you really think about it, they deserve all the respect in the world. And the events of the last few days have made me rethink my views on America.
They have tried to stop violence in nations outwith their own. They have helped countries in times of disaster, when nobody else did, and what thanks do they get, being called money grabbing capitalist pigs by the very nations who, without the Americans help, would have collapsed into utter chaos and ruin.
This year 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes, nobody helped.
When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose.
Both are still broke.
When they come out of this tragedy, they have every right to thumb their nose at every nation who has not helped America in the least.
Remember that Bin Laden isn’t waging a war on America, he’s on a Jihad against western civilization, it’s a shame, but also a privelage that America represents the strongest symbolization of western culture.
I don’t want them to retaliate, not without the help of every nation that stands up for, and lives by western culture, democracy, freedom, and beleive me, we take our freedom for granted, every minute of every day.
Or just don’t retaliate at all, but don’t help anyone else who asks, just go back to, as you say Brendon, ‘Lassez Faire’ maybe America can then, instead of fighting other peoples battles or helping others in need, you can concentrate on the wars and problems in your own cities.
Screw everyone who thinks this is America vs Afgahn, this is Bin Laden vs the rest of the world, but the rest of the world doesn’t want to know.
