Well I'm not of the opinion that overt projection of Force and a rejection of Diplomacy is the right way to go. Therefore I'm going to have a hard time trying to understand why there are those that do.
A few of the reasons that I have gathered from talking to a variety of Americans seem to be: 1) We are America. We are the biggest, strongest and best in the world. Fuck off and die. 2) Fucking Sand Niggers bombed our towers. Fuck the world, Nuke them off the map.If killing thousands of Sand Niggers would save just one Ameican Life I would do it in a heartbeat! I am a Real American, not some liberal pansy. 3) America is under high threat from terrorist attack, and must aggressively defend herself against terrorist threats. The President and the intelligence community knows best where to project our power and strike next in order to keep us safe. We trust them to do what's right for us. 4) America's economy is floundering, we need to secure oil and our place in the Middle East to secure our future, Iraq is strategically the best way to do this at the present time.We need to seize this oppurtunity now because it may not come again. 5) America should bring Democracy to the world and become it's benevolent dictator, uniting all countries under one world body...led by America. 6) I don't care what we do, as long as we don't get attacked.I don't want to feel afraid anymore. 7) America has a god given duty and right to bring peace and liberty to all countries of the world. It is the duty of America to bring God to the people. 8) I really think that Iraq is deeply involved in the 9/11 plot to attack America, I believe Iraq has stockpiles of Weapons, tons and tons of biochemical weapons, and the reasons we haven't found them is they moved everything to Syria without us knowing. So Saddam had to be destroyed immediately in order to secure America and stop Saddam from giving WMD to terrorists which he was actively trying to do. 9) Iraq is a much safer place today, the Iraqi people love us and there are little to no Civilian casualties. We're doing the Right Thing for the Iraqi people. 10) The world is out to destroy America, so America must hit first with everything it has. These are the top points that I can discern from reading the opinions posted on this and other mailing lists, and from Speaking to Americans. Most of the people believe in a few of them together, rather than having just one reason. The only two that I even remotely agree with as partially valid are 3 and 4. I'm not saying I agree totally with 3 and 4, but I can understand the rationale behind those sentiments. And, well..I can partially empathise with 6 as well. 1 and 2 really shocked me. -Gel -----Original Message----- From: Gruss Gott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Angel wrote: > the majority of Americans don't have a problem with this, this is what > they voted for, and this for the next Four years.
