Dead babies - as recently proven in Afghanistan - are not a US concern either. If they go ahead with this, then anything goes.
Anybody, anywhere, anytime, will be able to "justify" the worst atrocity simply by calling it a first-strike in self defence! Hell, its Hitler's old excuse for invading Russia!
Saint Crispin's Day Speech
from Henry V by William Shakespeare
This day is called the feast of Crispian:
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian:'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars.
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispin's day.'
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
NOPE, NOT IN IRAQ, BOYS & GIRLS! REMEMBER: THERE'S NO HONOUR AMONG THIEVES!

Why is there no analysis of the consequences of having in that position a man who is, at best, of average intelligence and limited education, and whose understanding of the world beyond the US before he took office stretched little further than Mexico or Hawaii?
He views the world through the prism of a Wild West comic book. There are good guys and outlaws, "injuns" and the seventh cavalry. The vocabulary of his inarticulate utterances are peppered with comic book jargon ranging from "he can run but he can't hide" to "the axis of evil".
Yet this is the reality facing the world today.
We have at the head of the US, whose power is totally unrestrained, a man of mediocre stature who intends to run the world on the basis of comic book rules.

Of course the US helped the freedom fighters in Afghanistan when it was terrorised by the evil Soviet regime. If you had any interest in human rights you would have supported them then as well. This might have led to some funds going the way of Osama and his crew, but they weren't the only ones supported. Unlike the safe and easy world you occupy, the real world is not black and white, and the US did what they could to help.
If you lot had your way Eastern Europe would still be smothered by the Iron Curtain!
Whatever the Yanks did to fight the commie scourge in the cold war was nothing compared to the evil the Soviets did. Look at Vietnam. You ding-a-lings think you did the Vietnamese people a favour by letting the commies takeover! Have a look at them now - they can't wait to be true blue capitalists!
I'm sure that makes that pontificating ponce Pilger choke on his weeties every morning!
So wise up and get out of your Marxist 20th century dreamworld!

Nowhere does anyone condone the plane-bomb hit that killed all those people. Of course those poor bastards didn't "deserve" what happend. The point is, now the US should understand how people in OTHER countries feel when they cop it in the neck because of US foreign policy decisions. The 11 September attacks did not blossom in a vacuum. If you can't understand THAT then we are indeed in for a new world war. And it is one the US itself will have started.
By now even you, Comrade Pastiot, must know that the US helped established Osama bin Laden's el Quaid and helped put and keep Sadam in power! I guess ignorance is bliss for you, yes? Get serious and pick up on your history before you start waving flags and banging drums.
And who attacked the US? Was it the long sufering civilians of impoverished Afghanistan, some 3000 or more of whom have been killed directly by US ordnance? Was it that mad old cunt Sadam Hussein, who was supported by the US government thrughout the Iran/Iraq war (yeah, thats right buddy: when Saddam gassed all thoser Kurds, the Yanks didn't say a goddamn thing! Now, of course, Yank foregin policy has changed so he's the bad guy instead of the Iranians).
The Berlin Wall? Hell,in backdoor talks with the Soviets, then Prez Kennedy agreed to have it built! It was political ly expedient at the time! In fact, the Yanks hae shown time and again they will support any evil, any atrocity,, if it will help further their OWN aims. Well, all that bad karma sure is coming home now, aint it!
The "cold war" was a manufactured notion to scare the shit out of people. And the US "won" it purely because it could outspend the Soviets on more and more military/industrial crap. Instead of bankrupting themselves the dumb Soviets should have ignored the Yank arms race and they'd still be in power!
Im not anti-US, I'm just anti bullshit, ignorance, arrogance and hypocrisy. Come on Yanks, join the real world!
As for you, comrade Patriot, I suggest you do a little studying. And I dont mean at McDonalds University!
