The shattered image...

I held this notion, since childhood, that a nation like America would have to be lead by a leader, whose educational prowess would range from the Spiritual point of view of things as well as its physical…

Great men and leaders, whose dedication, (though being devout slavers), created a nation based on many good ideals…They worked hard at it and fought hard for it too, but back then, ideals and ideologies were different…

Lincoln, my favorite president, whose ideology of free men started the Civil War, in which almost a quarter of a million people died…

Reagan, the one who spoke from the heart, yet was a fearless defender of his nation…

I had a hard time imagining the stress and load upon the shoulders of the leader of the greatest nation on earth…It boggled my mind…

Great men I admired until, along came the 43rd president of the the United States of America, George Walker Bush, who has lit the world ablaze with his great ideologies…Literally…

Now I believe, that even if a grey parrot were elected president of the United States of America, his paid lackeys will be able to do a pretty fine job of running the country by themselves, as they wish…

Re: The shattered image...

Its strange how we keep hearing such things about Bush. But if he is that dumb then how he managed to fool the Americal Public for the second time? does that that mean the US citizen are even dumber? If so, then Bush is the right kinda President for them.

Re: The shattered image...

One of My Colleque (he is American) told me that... AMERICA is A Very Good Country Having Very Good Ppl Rules By Bunch of IDIOTS :D

And.. I think he was Right :)

Re: The shattered image…

right on :k:

Majority of people living in red states are dumb not the whole nation.

America used to be a great nation because of the great leaders of past. Unfortunately this great nation has been taken over by criminal thugs and idiots who vote for them.

Re: The shattered image...

Isn't Lincoln suspected to be a homosexual?

Re: The shattered image...

There is a big difference between the US govt and the US people. I have stated this earlier numerous times. The average american is an honest and moral individual. (from what i have seen of new york i will gonna exclude them for now). The idea is basic, we are the strongest country so lets help the world. Sadly the govt translates that into lets rule the world.

Personally i am a Churchill and Roosevelt fan.

Re: The shattered image...

You smell. I have nothing constructive to add.

Re: The shattered image...

The image shattered when after the Cold War, a new enemy was needed.

In a nation that thrives on a self-perception of being the side of Good in the eternal struggle between Good and Evil, a new Evil was needed once the last one was defeated.

Re: The shattered image…

Maddie, did you eat lunch? This enemy started way before the fall of communism. Some would argue that it started in 1967, other would say, it started with Iranian revolution. The enemy has always been there, now was the time to kill the snake and chop off its’ ugly heads. The enemy was used as a cannon fodder to bring down communism, and now enemy is being used on divided grounds to kill itself from within. Sunnis killing Shias, and Shias killing goats. Half of the Muslims helping the US to catch the ‘enemy’ for a little Bakhsheesh. Keep watching this Tamasha and keep blaming the United States. May be one day you might be right. But that day is not here yet.

Re: The shattered image…

Hence my capitalised “E” on Evil. It went from being a perceived but tolerated evil to being the Evil enemy.

Re: The shattered image...

Yeah..I overlooked that. It does make sense now.

Re: The shattered image…

An acknowledgment from an American that it’s indeed US that is creating tension between Shia and Sunnis. Thank you very much for proving my point it’s NOT shia and sunnis who are killing each other.

anything I can do to make it better.

Re: The shattered image...

It is quite shattering for me to imagine that Lajoo did not haet US from childhood.:)

Re: The shattered image...

So Lajjo, what are you saying? Say it in a one-liner.

Re: The shattered image…

I don’t think that’s true…At that time, things were different…Men could live with men together…They however found some letters exchanged between Abe and a certain captain…

But, many people, especially students, even today, share many jokes, lives and apartments together…Does that mean they are gay?

BM: Did you play 'Give Bush A Brain"? :smiley:

Golden: It’s true…The USS America is divided into those who are onboard and those who are piloting it…

If truly America was for the people, by the people, then more than 100,000 Iraqis would be alive today, as well as their own ‘heroes’…

Using patriotism as an excuse, the country is slowly being steered towards Fascism…

Channmahi Ji: What do kids know? :halo:

Hiccsy: For using the services of GS for free, you only get a smelly Lajawab…To get a clean smelling one, please call toll free, 1-800-BITEME…:mad:

Madhu: It’s good to read your replies…It keeps me updated as to what the media is feeding its kids at the moment…Since I rarely shive a git about your replies anyway, I turn to headline news for better views, minus the garbage…You should seriously try to stick to being funny…:wave:

Maddie: The government’s taste for blood came after the great depression…It was war which pumped the economy…Since then, everytime there is a conflict anywhere around the world, the US has a hand in it somehow, or wiching to have a hand in it…

US right now is going through the worst economic times since the Depression…Only way to pump the economy up was to start a war, hence a mock-up of a new enemy was unveiled, and thus started the merciless butchering of innocent lives around the world…

Re: The shattered image…

and not to mention 3 million Bengalis. Is that what you think of your own country? Shame on you Lajo.

Re: The shattered image…

I don’t think so. They didn’t willingly join World War 2, for instance, the USA was attacked. Even then, they only declared was on Japan. It was Germany and Italy that declared war on the USA out of solidarity with Japan.

After 1945 the perception of being Good versus Evil set in… that’s when the USA got involved all around the place. It was a variation of the Manifest Destiny belief.

Maddie, you can make him drink water. His anti-American mind was made up when doc slapped his ass to make him breathe.
