... or should we be self-satisfied thanks to mass media manipulation that consolidates us in the idea that the action of our government is fair?
In short: Are you ready to see our country invading Iran, to protect our accesses to oil, and to slow down the economic growth of China?...
This is simply a Machiavelic hypothesis

WE NEED TO KNOW because it seems like nations have vendettas out agains the US and the people have no idea what the US has been doing around the world in their name. We are paying for the sins of our fathers and it sucks a.ss.

What is unfair about:

Removing Saddam from power and liberating millions of oppressed (if ungrateful) Shi'ites?

Removing the Taliban and ensuring equal rights for women and men, and introducing civil liberties that were trampled on for years?

Challenging Iran and N. Korea to refrain from nuclear weapons development, as they have yet to demonstrate any responsible tendencies within and outside their respective borders?

Iranians are jailed en masse for dissent, N. Koreans starve by the hundreds of thousands to fuel the Kim military machine. The people suffer, the US challenges, the world sleeps.

China can roll over Iran tomorrow. They don't. Why? It's too much hassle. They respect and cherish money WAY more than America does, and would not dare disturb the economic windfall they've been enjoying by shoving more money into a military action than into expanding their economic empire.

There is nothing WRONG with protecting US access to oil. It's in our national interest. If you've got a problem with America's success, that's YOUR problem, don't expect Americans to solve it for you.

Iran's regime is regressive, inhumane, oppressive and totalitarian. Do we still need these kinds of governments jeopardizing the free world? NO! Enough is enough, we should never tolerate such regimes, it only shows our unwillingness to respect ALL human rights and lives.
