'to protect our way of living"?

Question

this phrase is often used by american presidents to justify to the world their acts of random aggression , and to comfort the bereaved parents of soldiers who died for no apparent cause .

now heres the question :
the usa government labels people who fight for their freedom or fight just to survive because they live in destitute 3rd world countries , they are labelled as bloodthirsty terrorists .

while american youth , who live in the richest country in the world , and are safe from all threats from any other country , when they die in a war on another nation for which no real necessity (other than to fill the pockets of corrupt politicians) could be found, they are called "heroes"

now, by using common-sense(i love that word by the way) isn't the definition of a blood-thirsty human one who (kills without there being a threat to life or limb) ?

who is the real terrorist , in light of this reasoning at least ?

i am sorry some of you have found this question offending , but isn't the mentality behind such a statement "DONT TRY TO REASON WITH IT' exactly the OPPOSITE of what the USA stands for? (or at least used to stand for)

Answer 1

This phrase is used by the US gov't to pacify US citizens and justify war & random acts of aggression because they think we are too stupid enough to question what they do. The CIA alone has been responsible for overthrowing regimes in Third World countries not favorable to US interventions in their countries. Guerilla soldiers, fighting for their country and governments are called bloodthirsty killers by our gov't to justify sneaky war tactics and all out war in poor Third World countries. I agree with you, the US is the real terrorist here, and the answers above just verify that people don't want to hear the truth. You got responses like "If you don't like it, go live somewhere else" I live here too, and I dont want to live anywhere else. Neither do I want my gov't terrorizing innocent people to "protect our way of living." this happens every day whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Check this out:

Answer 2

Yah what is the point to this?


I guess you must not live here, sorry for that.
I dont agree with most anything my government does, but I still wouldnt want to live anywhere else.

It is just the way it is. Dont try to explain or try to find reason with it.

Answer 3

No we call people that stap bombs to themselves and walk into markets terrorists.
We call people who fly planes into buildings terrorists.
We call people who are fighting in Iraq against stability terrorists.

Do you not like our way of life? Then get the $%^& out!

Answer 4
