Do they think it was justified to kill so many Nicaraguans, millions of Vietnamese, almost a million Indonesians (the CIA provided a Death list to Suharto containing the 500 000 members and associates of the communist party) and so many other non-whites... just because their military calls them terrorists?
Why are Americans willing to stand behind the Empire? Don't you claim to believe in Democracy? Is it supposed to be Democracy only for whites? Why do you support apartheid in Israel? Why did you (Reagan at least did) support apartheid in S. Africa? Why do you want to control the world?

Because all of us Americans are white. Not a black, hispanic, asian, or "NATIVE AMERICAN" in the bunch.

Americans do not have a single opinion on anything and all of the thing you mention had a lot of opposition in the US by Americans. We are not as much of a democracy as you think and the government can do thing in secret or manipulate public opinion for short periods of time, to have policies and even wars that is contrary to the will of the majority. Given time these policies get reversed, for example in Vietnam and South Africa, but not always before the damage is done. For years I have been trying to figure out why we select the people we do to run the government since they often do thing in our name that most people would rather we not do. Right now 2/3 of the people do not approve of what is happening in Iraq and over half of congress, but it just goes on. Most American do not want to be an empire, we just want to enjoy our life and raise our children and have peace. Maybe its just that we share the problem the human race has always had, that aggressive males who want control others get the power in government.

I do not recall anyone calling the Vietnamese terrorists.
I do not recall anyone calling the Nicaraguans terrorists, drug dealers maybe.
I do not recall anyone calling the Indonesians terrorists.
I do remember two World Trade Center bombings. Both were by Muslim extremists, who are self-proclaimed terrorists and who have no problem killing as many innocents as possible. I do not remember Osama Bin Laden wearing a military uniform invading our country and fighting a war with our military on our turf. What I remember is a sneak attack that went after civilians. That went after symbols of freedom and fairness. Do you remember anything about 9/11?
Should we go back and look at all the terrorist attacks on US soil or citizens over the years? Do you remember the Iran hostage Crisis? Do you remember when Iran attacked Kuwait to control their oil? Do you only look at one set of facts and choose to turn a blind eye to the other?

ok heavily supply up with the stereotypes. it extremely is hurtful AND ignorant. supply up basing each and every little thing on race, merely because of the fact a nonwhite pointed a water gun at you and you take place to be white does not advise crap. i'm unwell of people stereotyping, merely get some difficulty-unfastened experience! no person supplies a crap which you think of you're eye-catching, and you sound quite boastful. You sound such as you're asserting nonwhites are no longer eye-catching.

It is the law of nature: survival of the fittest...But you see, not only are Americans guilty of suppression. We all are, in one way or another. Looking through our history, it has been the prime instinct of almost every nation: to conquer or be conquered.
And racism is a fact that is seriously avoided but is discreetly practiced.

Anyone that threatens us is eligible to be capped.
Must say I love the way you slyly left out Sierra Leone; Rwanda; Sudan; S Mao; Pol Pot; Uncle Ho and lil' kim.
Oh, did I forget to mention Zanzibar and the islands of Pemba and Mafia and how it was those of darkened pigment that practiced the slave trade until whitey stamped it out?

We didnt kill millions of Vietnamese but the communists slaughter hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands more fled the country in terror.
While apartheid was definitely wrong, Mandela was also a terrorist- we shouldnt have supported him either
Your anti American pro communist propaganda is cute though
We dont want to control the world but we dont want to see the people of the world controlled by dictators either

in all the years of my life I have been watching this very closely and I can say without fear of justified contradiction that Americans are willing to kill terrorist of any ethnicity, color,nationality,sexual persuasion or language spoken.
In other words when it comes down to dealing with terrorists we are absolutely equal opportunity.

By your statement you are no different. It is not right to generalize any large group of people, regardless of your views.
