50 Dead at Orlando Night Club The Pulse In Act Of Terror


Quote:I have to say...  THIS IS A LIE!  We fought off the russians and gave afghan back to the afghan people.  We fought of sadam and gave kuwait back tot he Kuwaities.  We gave Iraq back to Iraq.  We didn't even take the oil resources that we could have taken that is now being used to fund the largest terror group in history.  We spend billions of dollars defending Saudi Arabia.  

 

Those aren't acts of imperialism!

 

I'll make it really simple, there is a young girl in Iraq.  She just woke up this morning.  She is probably about 9-10 years old.  her life now is as a sex slave.  No matter how much she kicks no matter how much she screams she is going to be rapped, over and over and over again.  As she is lying there feeling their hot breath on her skin, being violated in ways that she isn't even old enough to understand, what imperial sins are you going to accuse her of?  Did she inspire bush?  Was she in on the meetings with [BAD WORD REMOVED] Cheyne?  

 

There's a woman in Saudi Arabia that wishes she could go to work without her fathers permission.  She wishes that she could drive a car.  Is she being punished because she worked at the state department?

 

There is a gay man in Qatar that is about to be thrown off of a building.  Are you going to tell him that it's ok, he deserves it because he worked at the state department.  

 

Trying to excuse these acts or worse, blame the US is frankly despicable and you should be ashamed of yourself sir.
jj, What are you talking about? Our activities with the mujahideen in Afghanistan against the Russians was a pretty standard proxy war. That's geopolitics. We gave Iraq back to Iraq? What? We went into Iraq under bogus claims of WMD's and imminent risk of nuclear and CBW annihilation. I don't have much beef with GW1, as that was more of an internationally accepted action against an aggressor state. And I don't have much beef against our actions with the mujahideen either; I will note that proxy wars seem imperialistic to me, but doing what we did there vs the Russians seemed like a shrewd move, even though I do consider it, and most other proxy war actions Imperialistic. Maybe you have a different meaning for Imperialism. And none of this addresses our history with Saddam, or Pahlavi, or any of the other folks in the region. Look, I am not sitting here saying the U.S. is any different from other major powers in its views toward international actions. And this is nothing new. But to claim that the the U.S. hadn't acted in Imperialistic ways again makes me wonder about our different view of the word itself.

 

As far as that next part, I don't even know what the hell you are going on about. Does sex slavery and defenestration of gays seem bad to me? Well, yeah. You then go off on Saudi Arabia, the country you list earlier as an example of our non-Imperialsim as we are giving them billions to defend themselves. What are you going on about?

test of profanity filter

Getting rid of any perceived attempts to sidestep the profanity filter :-)

<p class="bbc_left">Or is it from Burke? I tried finding the source, and looked through some of his writings, no luck. Anybody with google-fu got a citation of the source?
