> C. many reading this will not like this but the actions of the US government > for decades has been in the interest of the US and much blood has been spilt > by them and 3rd parties funded by them. Decades? Gee, I would say centuries. You speak of ignorance, yet you make such a foolish and psuedo-enlightened remark as this? The actions of every single nation in the world are taken in their own best interests. I hope that every action taken by my governent is taken in our, as Americans, collective best interest. I don't pay taxes to fund best interests of the rest of the world... thats what charity is for. > Is the hatred you feel for your > attackers of your people less valid than theirs ?

But the reasons are very different. > The US must try and find these > people to make them answer for this but must also look inwards at the same > time!! priority is to stop it happening again no ? Look at the tit for tat > mess Israel is in... Tit for tat? Israel has been fighting with gloves on for far too long, in my opinion. They have the capacity to obliterate the Palestinians, and have not. Would thier adversary act with such restraint? The answer, to anyone who knows what goes on over there, is a resounding no. The Palestinians have one goal; to drive the Israeli into the sea. If that same goal were shared by the Isralei, the task would have been accomplished. > > I'm English and for a long time American money has paid for bullets and > semtex used in my country - Money from Americans is not the same as American money, I say. Yes, we have alot of Irish Americans who fund the IRA and their ilk, but we have a far greater number that fund humanitarian efforts. To imply otherwise is arrogant, far more arrogant than you accuse your American brother of being. And for the Irish, to imply that the UK is blameless is shameless. > children are dead as are many policemen not to > mention the civilians popped off because they have the wrong religion. Protestants kill Catholics too, mate.

I don't think too many brits were complaining about American bullets during either of the World Wars. I wonder how the Argentines felt about Brittish bullets in the Falklands... I wonder how many people in India, in China, in Egypt, Tunisia, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabil, Pakistan, Afganistan feel still about British Imperialism. The list goes on. Face facts... when England hade the resources, nothing made them happier than trying to dominate the entire world. "The sun never sets on the British Empire". Well, the sun set some time ago, and don't try to play Mr. Benevolant now. And don't veil your envy so thinly...
