Countries should be looking out for their allies as well because without allies we are easily defeated.
And Canada entered WW2 only a few days after Britain. We looked out for our allies. And by the way, the French wanted you to get involved in Vietnam? The French. Lets all do whatever the French want us to.

JD, are you still upset?
OK. I found the previous quotes. Some previously said: "And guess what? The American media either did not even mention this or they just stuffed it into the last line of an article, preferring instead the "feel good story of the US Marines coming home to their family". And then Afro-elf says: "That is an UTTER AND BLANANT LIE!!!!! That story was all over the news." And then mirrille says: "I don't know about American newspapers, although I'd imagine they'd latch onto a disaster story like this just as normal." Then JD got upset, so mirrille tries to clarify: "yes. I can believe that. That's just the sort of story newspapers would print. I would actually be surprised if they just tucked it in the back just because they are American." In other words, I very much doubt that American newspapers would cover up some big international disaster out of some loyalty to their own country. I very much doubt that American media would want to hide this, because that's not what newspapers do. Someone accused US newspapers of overlooking Canadian deaths. A-E denied that, quite vehemently, i might add. I just commented that I believe A-E more because I find it more likely that a disaster story would be "all over the news", rather than "stuffed ... into the last line of an article." That's the way newspapers are. I only mentioned American newspapers in particular because the original complaint was about American newspapers being biased. There! I've already apologized for the misunderstanding and explained myself. If you still take offense, there's no more I can do except say that I'm sorry you feel that way. |

It's very interesting some of his other views. I think that site will give people a better view of his beliefs than what you have said - * Interview on Anarchism, Marxism and Hope for the Future - Interview conducted in 1995 by Kevin Doyle on behalf of Red and Black Revolution, a libertarian communist magazine.

Most people that our outside this country that say the US is evil - have never even been to this country nor do they realy know anything about US History. So I generally take things they say with a grain of salt.
After seeing some of Noam Chomsky's stuff - I now know where BoP is getting all her views from. And why they could be a little distorted toward Anti-Americanism. But most people only read stuff they already believe in - instead of working to uncover the truth.

And I don't think the US is evil. I think they're a great country/people.

I do however know that ALL countries have blook on their hands. Australia has mistreated their aboriginal people badly for years. Europe and Africa were both involved with slaved trade. Russia killed millions of it's own citizens during the Stalinist years, not to mention during the czars. Iraq has used chemical weapons on their own people. Canada prevented Indians from practicing their own beliefs and speaking their own languages (I know this because I have friends that live on Six Nation Indian Reserve in Canada). And concerning the US having blood on it's hands - if the world didn't expect us to always get involved - we'd have a lot less blood on our hands. Why should we mediate between Israel and the Palestians all the time? All it does it is come back to haunt us. Why don't some other countries take a leadership role? Blair recently did - but everyone knows that the only reason was because it was better to have someone else talking to the Middle Eastern countries after 9/11 then for us to be there. Why does the US always have to get involved? I would be very glad and so would many Americans if the world would just let us be. But that is impossible - we live in a global community and whether we like it or not - we're all linked. Europe and Japan know that if the US is attacked again and we fall into a deep recession that the world economy is going down with us. We know that if oil is cut off to Europe and Japan that the world's economy would collapse. This makes it impossible for the US to go back into an isolationist stance again. Trade is what makes the world go round and trade is what keeps countries from attacking one another. Sorry if you seem to think we're a war mongering country - but I disagree.

I haven't followed Nicaragua in a while. But at the time - Russia (the Soviet Union at the time and Cuba) were helping to cause insurrection there too. I'm sorry - but the stablity of the Western Hemisphere is definitely in the US's best interest. We don't need enemy regime's getting a foothold at our doorstep. It may sound cold hearted - but it's the way the world works. All you have to do is just see how people behave to see how countries behave.
