The majority of posters here have a mature outlook on life, politics and world-view. There are a few however who bash “amrika” at every opportunity. Its to those people I’d like to ask some things - in a thoughtful and mature manner.
While you disregard all problems in Pakistan and bring up all the evils that the americans have done…I’m wondering what YOU would have done - AT THOSE TIMES and in those circumstances. You have these vast resources at your command, both natural resources and human resources. So you clobber the Jews and the christians? THEN what? What would be your plan - and would you really have done things differently - given the time period and knowledge at the time the offenses were committed? And given the fact that you had the “upper hand”? I mean, it certainly sounds in the postings as if (those few of you) would use that Upper hand to destroy the entire population of Amrika…how does that make you better than Hitler? Or you have some OTHER plan that would bring about a better world?
I am in no way trying to justify the wrongs that have been committed over the course of the past 250 years…I would just like to know how YOU’d handle the situations if you were in the “seat of power” so to speak…would you do the same - mass genocides, wars, economic sanctions at the expense of poor people (white or not)? Or what?
This is not meant to be a nasty or mean thread…I truly want to understand where you’re coming from and how to stem the tide of hatred for us “amrikans”?
