I'm beginning to understand how these people differ from the rest of us. Their view of how they perceive their role in the world is an elite attitude of us and them, where the standards to which we all have to abide, only apply to the world outside of America. The crimes that they commit abroad are not seen as crimes, simply because they are Americans. They have convinced themselves of their unquestionable rihteousness whenever they engage themselves in a war. The American people could never believe that they or their government could be acting on the basis none other than what is right for the world and if you question or impede, you are the enemy or unpatriotic or anti American or whatever,depending on the circumstances.<BR/> When McCain speaks about Iraq and how to turn a disastrous effort into a success, he only equates victory as something self serving American interests. He doesn't consider the plight of Iraqi's and what we have done to their country as being a relevant factor in assessing success and neither do most Americans. The impact on America is so minimal in comparrisson to what Iraq has endured. The death toll is in the tens of thousands but all you here is the four thousand American deaths, as though it is only the loss of American life that is relevant. The target was Saddam Hussein, not the people of Iraq but the American attitude toward the suffereing of non Americans is of no consequence and not a factor in serving out their foreign policy. <BR/> The Iraq war is unpopular in America, only because it is deemed as being costly and unnecessary. The total self absorbed ignorant and supremacist delusion these people live, would not equate anything their government does a war crime. This is a designation of judgement reserved for others only.<BR/> Both John McCain and Condoleeza Rice publically denounced the actions of Russia against Georgia. They said, It is unacceptable in the twenty first century for a country to use that sort of aggression against another. This is a perfect example of the American self delusion that enables them to commit the crimes they do without acknowledgement. What we do is not the same as when others do it. Reminds me of religion.

It's the whole world's business. When the leaders of the most powerful nation in the history of the world decide to attack another country because, essentially, they don't like that country's leader and when they do so against the wishes of the rest of the world and against international law, it becomes everyone's business. The fact that I'm a Canadian is irrelevent; I'm a citizen of this world and the peace and stablility of this world are clearly threatened by nutbar ideologues like Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, who arrogantly assume that they have the right to use military force unilaterally whenever it suits their narrow interests. These guys and their neocon buddies need to be shown that this approach is totally unacceptable to the rest of humanity. <BR/><BR/>I believe that this weird notion held by a minority of Americans that "we are the most morally superior people in the world. Therefore, we should be the world's police force", is not only ridiculous, it's dangerous. A careful, honest study of American foreign policy over the last 60 years will demonstrate this point. No one country has the best system, the highest morals or all of the answers to the world's problems. There are things to value and things to criticize in all most any culture. We need to work together as a global community to sort this shit out, instead of having one dude standing on top of the pile swinging a big stick, telling everybody else how it's gonna be. People resent that kind of treatment and eventually, they'll bring the prick down....<BR/><BR/>And yes, for the record, you (I'm assuming you're an American) do tell us what to do. Or rather, your governments tell us what to do. You told us to stop manufacturing our own fighter jet (the Avro Arrow) and we did. You told us to let American companies in to gobble up Canadian companies (NAFTA)and we did. You told us to help you clean up the mess that Reagan made in Afghanistan (the arming of the Mujahadeen/Taliban) and we still are. You told us not to legalize pot (though poll after poll have shown that the majority of Canadians believe it should be) and we haven't. The list goes on and on.<BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong though. I am not anti-American. Some of my favorite people are American and I have family that are American. There are thousands of really cool Americans. They just don't happen to hold any political power.Gerry Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17167374678266453070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34725013.post-82165365828511725002007-10-12T10:24:00.000-07:002007-10-12T10:24:00.000-07:00Why don't you mind your own business?

It seems that the powerful rarely have to pay for their actions and can act almost with impunity.This is why some of us flip between anger and depression when viewing world events. Then we seek mindless distractions because it is all too much. <BR/><BR/>That doesn't mean that people shouldn't struggle to achieve justice. But it is difficult to know exactly what can be done and how we can realistically achieve it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
