All about wars...
Edited on Tue Jul-13-04 03:36 PM by Dangerman
I hate to say it, but ever since WWII, there was not a SINGLE "honest war" fought, not even Desert Storm.

Korea was a mess, Vietnam was a travesty, Grenada and Panama will all bullsh*t distractions, and Desert Storm... it was nothing but to "save" a foul, corrupted monarchy to preserve sh*tty American oil interests, not because of Saddam's "evil" (anybody remember that "babies taken from incubators" scam by the Kuwaiti ambassador's daugther?).

Operation Enduring Freedom was suppose to break this unlucky trend, but thanks to our irresponsibility, Afghanistan was free... free to grow opium poppy and raise hell to innocent people beyond the Kabul city limits.

And as for Operation Iraqi F*ck-up... err, I mean "Freedom", not since Hitler invaded Poland that a country of any form of government would invade a defenseless country before this. And to top it all off, this invasion were based on LIES AND DECEPTION! (Like anybody in this whole forum knows it already...)

This maybe the reason why I "hate" America for this (actually, more like ASHAMED for it).

To prove my point, America is only good as solving global conflicts with brutal, violent and agressive means, something that our forefathers disagreed with since our nation's birth.

Is there any way we can resolve future conflicts through diplomatic means? Is there?
