when will we apologize to the Vietnamese and Iraqi and Afghani people for decades of war for profit?

Question

We created the mess that the Taliban exploited in Afganistan and we are doing damn little there now as we got what we wanted...a natural gas pipeline...when will we realize THERE IS A MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX and it seeks war to create profit and incite fear thus enabling political tyranny.

john D one other problem with ad homminem attacks besides displaying the degenerate nature of the person using it is that it requires a certain knowledge of the subject being so attacked...you have no such knowledge. for all you know I have served...are so isolated as to believe that a soldier could not have such views as mine?

army dirt mover...all the stocks of the MIC are too expensive for you and they are all up with insane profits....and I know I am a stockbroker!!
read THEN talk

Native the Japanese DID apologize and we have yet to apologize for using their country as a nuclear testing ground for you see negotiations to surrender had already been opened and indeed the surrender that was signed was CONDITIONAL on the emperor staying on his thrown which was the only condition the japanese sought when they offered to surrender in JULY thus no inavsion would have been needed and therefore dropping the bomb was a cynical horrible war crime the equivalent of kicking your foe in the nuts after offering to help him up after just kicking him in the nuts...reprehensible but useful to send a warning to Joe Stalin who was thinking about sending his tanks on thru germany and also was casting his eye on Manchuria which was japanese occupied

Answer 1

Dwight Eisenhower warned us about the giant military-industrial complex, and as the years have gone by, his warnings have proved to be eerily accurate.
Now, we're engaged in an unconstitutional, illegal, unjustifiable, immoral 'war' and some people answering your question can only respond with, "Yawn..."
Public apathy is pathetic in this country, and until "we the people" stand up and do something to take back our country, it will only get worse.
We have attacked a nation that in no way threatened, provoked or attacked the United States for only three insane reasons:
1. The Bush family had a personal vendetta against Hussein ever since Desert Storm when George H.W. Bush was criticized, ridiculed and humiliated for 'not finishing the job' at that time;
2. Cheney wants all that OIL swimming underneath Iraq's sands so he and his Exxon-Mobil buddies can get richer and richer and richer feeding America's addiction to cheap easily-accessible foreign OIL;
3. The giant military-industrial has realize the profitability of war ever since World War II. So, all the politicians were bought up, price lobbyists were hired, and special interest groups were formed to promote and encourage more war.
Thus, the U.S. was involved in the Korean Conflict; the Cuban Missile Crisis; the Cold War; Vietnam and Desert Storm - all so companies like McDonnell-Douglass and Lockheed-Martin could boost their sagging profits. A new war was necessary to allow two "newcomer" contractors belly up to the government war trough and make billions of dollars in profits, courtesy of the taxpayers: The Carlyle Group and Halliburton both have direct ties to the Bush-Cheney White House.
And, as a final slap in the American taxpayers' face, Halliburton has decided to relocate its headquarters to an offshore island to avoid paying taxes on the billions of dollars it earned from the U.S. government. How obscene is that??
Halliburton is going to build fourteen (yes - 14) new permanent U.S. military bases in Iraq. The U.S. is building the largest embassy in the world in downtown Baghdad. Does that sound like we're going to be leaving Iraq any time in the near future? NO! We'll be there until we've sucked every drop of OIL from Iraq's sands. From Day One, we were there - and are still there - for two reasons: OIL and WAR PROFITEERING. -RKO- 07/13/07

Answer 2

I aid the Afghani warfare due to the fact that the Talibans deserved a revenge from us for nine/eleven however the Iraqi warfare will have to be the worst mistake we did. It particularly spoilt the identify of US and has additionally been a reason for the present fiscal despair. Remember that the Iraq served as a buffer for us within the middleast from Iran with which they waged enormous wars.

Answer 3

I guess they made up the story of Pearl Harbor too and we went to war with the German's and the Japanese just to end
the depression and pickup the American economy.I won't
argue agaist the Vietman War it was a Democratic lie about
a made up attack on the U.S. Maddox that let us into that war.
But the Afghanistan Government was sheltering the terrorists
who planned the attack on the World Trade Center and we
should all be supporting our troops who are trying to end the
threat of future attacks instead of trying to diminish the efforts
they are putting out . I bet you have never served a single day
in the military. If you had you wouldn't be asking such silly
questions you'ld be supporting our troops.

November 27, 2027 at exactly 4:17 in the afternoon Lincoln, Nebraska time unless it's raining that day then the apology is postponed indefinitely.

Answer 5

The thinking among us realize it. We know. Now we just want our CUT. Only greed against the greedy will give us the space to negotiate a more fair world. I have received 250% higher gasoline prices since the Iraq war.

Answer 6

I can't say I agree with the war, but I can't say that I care about apologizing to the foreign countries either as they would have had chaos and war without the US involvement. I think it is sad to see all the young US troops dying for other countries that don't want them there or appreciate their help.

Answer 7

Look...those people have been at war for centuries. They where killing each other LONG before America was created. They will be killing each other in heaven or hell...which ever one they go to. It's just that Americans where innovative. We seen the opportunity to make some money off of it..and took it. So if you look at it. It's more so taking advantage of a current situation for personal gain. Congress just recently passed a bill to WITH DRAWL our troops from over seas. I'm gonna love to see the looks on every ones faces after we pull out and America gets bombed to hell and back by suicide bombers. Then all you Anti-War protesters are gonna be wanting to go to war. Or will you Not want to go to war..and just send a bunch of people over there to give them hugs??
I hope I live to see that day when it happens.....cause I'm gonna laugh my *** off. I just hope America will still be here after it happens.
