Quote:One of the main things I learned in the history classes I took back in the day was that american propaganda always creates an irrational in-humane enemy that is hell bent on killng us and has no fear.  See: Native Americans, Germans, Japanese, Communists, Radical Islam, and now Iran...  

 

Usually, this propaganda does not filter into the actual policy makers...  IE why MAD was something we didn't really hear about until after we began negotiating with the Soviets...

 

What was it that Breshnev (sp?) used to say about the US?  Something about crushing us or something?  I forget the exact quote, but rest assured, the Soviets used to talk a pretty tough game too.  We somehow we avoided all that, but I do remember a little move called "The Day After" that kept us in fear even into the early 80s...  But, please, feel free to continue to freak out.

 

I personally won't untill there's a reason...

And there we go, history is just propoganda, we needn't worry that what has happened for all of human history will continue. You are foolish to believe as you do, we've been fighting Iran for generations already. Of course you probably think thats our fault, so give them the bomb so we can get what we deserve. Of course you dont say that out loud, its just the effect of what you do believe.


The problem with the Left: they don't fanatically believe their own principles so they think no one else does either.
