Okay Tranny, since you're going to be an idiot about this, how about if China unilaterally decided that George Bush and the United States were the greatest threat to the world as we know it and decided to launch an offensive against an unguarded nation right now? Would you be p*ssed off? Or would you thank your luck stars that we were rescued from our oppressive leaders? Would China's actions be justified? The US does lead the world in incarceration of its own citizens (hard to believe when the country is only 300 million in size compared to the billion in China and India). Would this not give them the excuse of human rights violations as a reason to rescue the American people?
What you REFUSE to acknowledge, let alone accept, is the fact that the people in these countries know no other way of life and they have survived with in the confines of that system. How is it right for us to say that they are wrong? Why are we the ones who call them down for their form of government?
An aside here... Is ours so much better when qualified candidates are afraid to run for office and have their whole life scrutinized and potentially ruined? Yeah, we have a choice as to who we get to vote for, but a lot of the times the guys running for office are both scum bags and you have to vote for the lesser of two evils. I'm not sure which is worse as the political structure in this country prevents more things getting done that it promotes. Back to our regularly scheduled post...
Just because we don't agree with the political system, or what their eader stands for, does not mean we should not respect the country and deal with them in an objective nature. We can't go in and think everyone is evil because of one man. We have to try and open up their land to democracy through diologue, not through war. War should always be the last resort, and not spoken of lightly. With the Bush administration military action is the first natural response to any problem. Whether you want to admit it or not, the United States and its leadership is the greatest threat to world peace at the moment. They are the only country capable of launching an offensive anywhere in the world in short order. WE are the threat that concerns everyone, and that should be a concern for us.
