Yes, the US has managed to be very adept at painting its adventures in moral colors; defending freedom etc.

I think American individuals are for the most part even more morally driven than, for instance, their European counterparts. But this almost radical moralism actually makes them more easy to exploit.

Once a path of "good" has been defined, anyone who strays from the path, including critics, are by definition evil.

And exploited they have been. Why is that?

So you dont think that Bush team were planning an attack on Iraq ..long before 911..and long before they came into power? Oh dear, that is very gullible.

No "country" bombed the US. So what are you talking about?

Did the US bomb itself after the Oklahoma bombing?

Or did it try and find the terrorists responsible?

I suspect we have both wasted our breath here, Illegal and Illegitimate.

This will teach me for being loquacious.

good point. I keep seeing people say that Afghanistan attacked the uS. people apear to have forgotten what really happened.

THe US public is easily manipulated... they use that moral compass of good and evil... like they are living in the middle ages. They can do this because the US has more uneducated, untravelled, insular people than any nation on earth.

They play the laughable PATRIOT card... if you are not with us..you are against us!!!

So anyone who opposes US cowardice and disgusting civilian bombing is suddenly unpatriotic

Indeed, Hanoi Jane Fonda was a REAL "patriotic" American.

She flew to Hanoi, badmouthed America, and encouraged those loving communists.

Later, Hanoi John Kerry called all Vietnam Veterans "war criminals" and his treason moved General Giap to violate the Paris Peace Treaty and launch a final assault on South Vietnam, consigning tens of millions to communist hell in which they live today.

John Murtha, Ted Kennedy, Harry Reid, and many of your other "patriotic" pals badmouthed America and our troops shedding their blood in Afghanistan and Iraq, calling them murderers, and no different from Saddam Hussein.

Millions of Democrats don't deserve to call themselves "Americans."

What a very weird, random and unconnected post.

Why didn't you advocate the random bombing of the US..after the Oklahoma attack?

btw...who is a pacifist? Anyone who opposed the PURE COWARDICE bombing of Iraq... was a pacifist?

So funny that while you accuse americans of being brainwashed, uninformed, and untraveled...That you dismiss hundreds of facts. This one in particular, that iraq was a safe haven for terrorists.

Whos uninformed?
Whos brainwashed?
Perhaps your traveling is worthless when you do it with arrogance that makes you think by walking through a country you all of the sudden know all of its history and population's motives.
