I agree with you about "what's done is done" but instead of forgetting about it, how about trying to set it right?

I think America should pull out of most things we do. Including sending billions of dollars to countrys around the world, obviously they dont appertiate it. Edit: Sorry if I seem a bit edgy, I have had a bad day and shouldnt be taken it out on you guys. [ 10-28-2002, 05:07 PM: Message edited by: Iron_Ranger ]

So, you are then understandably offended, angry, and upset - but NOT (if you have a brain) *surprised* - when they "burn down your house and sleep with your daughter." Wouldn't you have been better off helping them out to begin with, or at least not scoffing at them? Look - I am sure that not every part of my above extended metaphor applies to US international relations, but you started the metaphor thing so don't hold it against me if I got creative. [EDIT] I didn't read your post (immediately above) before I posted this, so I think the issue has already been sufficiently addressed. And, I think we see eye-to-eye on it.

you know, iron Ranger, that's not a half bad idea. Whatever way you look at it, the "war on Terror" started because USA offered help/interfered (I'm not gonna judge, it's not my place to and I doubt you'd care anyway, so pick whichever one you like) in other countries. Maybe the USA should watch out for who they help in the future. They supplied the IRA with weapons, after all.
Don't wanna be identified as a yank basher, just adding my thoughts [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't be taking a sarcastic tone with me Mr Iron Ranger sir
I've got no problems with the aid and protection that America has given over the years, I just wish that it was done for the good of your fellow man as opposed to being done so that America had something to hold over said countries. I might not live in the flashest house on the block but I like it and quite frankly I can't think of a place I'd rather live.

As for helping for purely alturistic means, it's unlikely. Even if you are doing something good for purely alturistic purposes, the fact that it's not hard to also gain a pecuniary benefit from it means you usually work it to your benefit at least a bit. Example: charitable tax deductions - if you're gonna give, at least make the other taxpayers soak up a bit, right? |
