Most disturbing
Was working out the gym the other day and caught a few minutes of a news program where they were interviewing a U.S. diplomat to the Middle East. I did not catch his name as I came in the middle of the program.
One of the interviewers asked how something like the WTC bombing could happen. The ambassador started a reply about the US bombings of 5 or 6 Middle Eastern countries in the last 10 years and the afffects on civilian populations.
Before he could get far in to his explanation, the interviewer interrupted him, curtly thanks him then cut the ambassador off.
According to many conservative respondents, it is unAmerican to open your eyes. Looking at the world from another's viewpoint or getting all your facts is unpatriotic. How sad for you puppets.
FYI, I served my country honorably during the Viet Nam conflict and my views about America forever changed because of the lies I saw firsthand being fed to the American public.
Freedom of Speech is not "tripe" as one poster put it.

Logicallly speaking no I don't think he is right. We did not order nor direct the killing of innocent civilians and had we known that the side we chose would turn on us or sour, we would not have made that choice. Sometimes we have to chose the lesser of two evils, jsut as has been stated by many when voting.
It is like the missile defense system. The rest of world doesn't want us to do it. Why? Because then we would be able to defend ourselves that much better, thus ensuring our survivability in the event of the big one. Plus, it makes it harder for our enemies to get at us through the air.
We do things to ensure our survival, right wrong or indifferent. While we do not need to kill every innocent around us to obtain our goal. We cannot ignore the fact that people and country's will always hate us for who we are.
Of course I poked fun at him. It goes like this.
BS = Bullshit
MS = More shit
Ph.D = Piled higher and deeper.
lighten up.

TNB, i didnt say it wasnt true although i will research the numbers because its hard to get factual numbers in these situations. i said it had no substance it just tells you the dates and numbers. it doesnt tell you why these events happened. there is always two sides to every story and he tells niether.

The reason why we did these things was to prevent the spead of communism. But do the ends justify the means? By aiding in crimes agains humanity we've sunk to their level.
I'm no commie lover, all I'm saying WE CAN LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES and think our policies logically. The past is the past, we can't change that. We claim to support democracy yet we have backed murderers and thugs.... WE NEED TO WALK IT LIKE WE TALK IT from now on.

TNB,
hindsight is always 20/20. at the time "some" of our domestic polycies and or conflicts may have seemed to be in our best interest. these issues are dynamic, nonthing is static. its very easy to make judgement after the fact instead of making the decisions. but im also with you and other people on here, this govt. has done wrong, but there not alone in that respect, and thats where the other side of the story comes into play.
