Politics & Government - 11 September 2006

Whenever someone complains about people who speak out against the administration, one of their defenses are, "If you hate it so much, just leave." If you want a country where everyone is forced to blindly follow their leaders, why don't YOU leave? This is a country that has free speech and the right to an opinion. There are plenty of other nations out there in the world that don't allow it. Perhaps you would be happier there? Has anyone ever thought that this "Love it or leave it" argument is extremely hypocritical?

As long as terrorism has been around there have been videos and statements broadcast all over the world gathering support for their causes. There have been US broadcasts but nothing in comparison to the numerous terrorist videos. Is it time for the US to release our own training camp videos, to brag about our attacks? Would we be falling to the likes of these terrorists or would we just be fighting fire with fire?

Democrats/Bill Clinton Supporters who watched The Path to 9/11 (if there are any), did you think that it was Bush who made the terrorists hate The United States?

A question mainly for those Europeans who delight in criticizing America -- If it weren't for American might, which language listed below would you be speaking today...?

1. German?
2. Japanese?
3. Russian?

Agreed that America, just like EVERY nation that's ever existed, has lots of faults, but ain't it nice to have 'em around when Europe needs somebody to save their worthless butts?

Do you believe that the Bush/Blair Anglo Saxon Model of Democracy as foisted on the Middle East is a recipe for disaster making a Theocracy more likely and therefore making it more dangerous in the west?

Recently, from Afghan issue,I hear a lot about Pakistan. Its surprising that US has'n in close military & economical ties with Pakistan through various treaties since 1950. Paki sided with USA in Vitenam,USSR, Gulf and now on war on Terror. Contrary to what is shown on CNN, majority of people in Pakistan's urban area ( around 30% of pop) are westernized. Half million Pakis live in USA as an extremely prosperous, peacful & successful community. Still majority of Paki support President Musharaff who is a well known supporter of USA. Historically, Right wing Islamic parties could never gain more than 15 % votes in any election. Still I can't understand why people in USA consider Pakistan a fundamentalist state or anti-USA. I think majority of us dont realize that after Afghan war we left 3 million Afghan refujees there which r uncontrollable. They r major source of violence in Pakistan & elsewhere and provide cover to Taliban. When Pakis try to push them to Afghanistan UN stop them..

Did anyone listen to PBS this afternooon? There was a newsbreak in the middle of their music that said George W. Bush admitted to being gay, took back every bad thing he had ever said and done to minorities, Democrats, the American people and humankind itself, did a double back flip into a pool of Jell-O and then recited the Star Spangled Banner without messing up a word.

Yeah, I know...he'd never be able to recite it, I didn't believe the last part either.

My grandpa died when my dad was only 5. So i dont know him. I remember being little and looking at a couple medals he won in WW2. When i was 14 my mum and dad split up for awhile and my dad and I moved in with his girlfriend. They got into a fight and we left in the middle of the night leaving everything there. Is there a way to find out what the medals were for, or even get new ones?

I was watching a program about 9/11 event moments ago and it said things that suprised me.I will summarise it for you:
There was a video which was recorded by an American just at the time of the event.This video was not shown in the U.S because it contained evidences which proves that 9/11 event was nothing but a hoax.Most likely it was a dirty terrorist operation organized by the U.S govenment itself to charge a group of innocent people.To attack them.To remove Saddam who did not obey the U.S anymore.To attack countries like Afghanistan and Iraq and steal their energy sources.To do terrible things in the name of fighting terrorism.What are the evidences?here:
Slow motion shows that just before the plane hit the tower there was a light at the collision point INSIDE the tower itself (just before collision).And there was smoke comming up from the BOTTOM of the tower which obviously was not the effect of plane colliding the TOP of the tower.So it could have been a bomb at the bottom of the tower.(this video is a secret one which was sensored in the U.S news).An American standing near the tower has clearly seen that the plane DID NOT have any windows so it COULD NOT have been a passenger plane stolen by immagenary terrorists.Fire fighters who enterd the tower heard the sound of ORGANISED explosions.They were quite sure that there were bombs in there which were planted from before.Have you noticed that tower floors were collapsing in an strange order?One by one?Very neat and clean(organised) work?Ain't it?And slow motion shows that there was a big (missle shaped) object attached to the BOTTOM of the plane.A really complicated job which OBVIOUSLY under-developed countries or stupid Ben Ladden could not have done.Destroying a gigantic building and turning it to dust needs quite a lot of work (at least two months).It needs Complicated calculations done by it's own designers.To calculate which point is suitable to be hit and loads of other things which OBVIOUSLY ....(you know the rest!)
It is time for the U.S people to wake up and see the truth and to get rid of their so called GOVERNMENT.Maybe if I were an American I would be decieved too.But they can see what terrible things their government is doing in the world.So why don't they stop it?Please DO NOT throw stons at me.I like Americans but along with millions of others I hate their government.I am sure there are lots of intelligent people in the U.S who actually know who is guilty.My lip service is:Up with Americans.Down with Bush.
