the Spy-plane incident
If you haven't picked up a newspaper or turned on your tv or radio in the past few days, then you may want to check out this article: www1.sympatico.ca/news/Fu...40321.html
You may want to check it out even if you have because it summarizes the situation very clearly. My thoughts on this: This topic might also be named "American incompetence and ignorance" because that's what I believe is really showing right now; the incompetence of the army (perhaps not in general) for what happened (not to mention that little submarine crash some time ago), and the complete ignorance of the public to the fact that it's sometimes not wrong for other countries to not do completely what America wants. That, and the way much of the public is brainwashed into thinking that America is always right and that anyone who doesn't do what America wants them to do is bad or breaking some kind of law. It was just very funny to watch CNN and see the American public's reaction, with general messages like "how can they do this?" and "Where are our allies who should be backing us?" (approximate; I don't remember the exact quotes) when it is almost obvious that America is guilty here and now they're simply paying China's price. Also, here's a nice quote from the article: Quote:
No, don't cry out, American military authorities had lied to the public many times before (like in Vietnam, for instance). This time at least they aren't lying, they're simply saying "it's more likely". Well, that's my opinion, and I know I'll get argued to [insert bad word here] about this. |
