I say it stands for freedom and democracy(laugh if you must). Yes I know we've made some mistakes, but sometimes people act like we are out to take over the world. Some people say that we are evil and blood thirsty. I say that is not so. I am sorry for the mistakes we've made, but hijacking planes and ramming them into buildings is not the answer. It offends me that some people just want to let the terrorists off the hook. Some people look at our country and all they can see is George W. Bush. Please look beyond him, our country is more than just him, alot more.
I'm truly sorry if you feel offended by my remarks, as you are entitled to your opinions.
I also belive the US stands for freedom and democracy. Unfortunally your government dosen't stand for what america stands for. It stands for it's own money-driven and power-driven interests. OF COURSE it's not the right way of things performing terrorists actions, I'm NOT in favor of terrorism or Saddam, I think Saddam got what he deserved, I think his sons got what they deserved, I think BinLaden should be caught and interrogated in order to find out more about the terrorist cells (while he is not the one true source of terrorism, he knows a lot). I am against BOTH sides, in a war I'm against war itself, I don't support either sides. I asked about Idi Amin Dada, no one remembers him, he was one of the most brutal dictators of all time, he used to torture and EAT his enemies, including british people, he supported and helped in the kidnapp of an israeli airplane, and you know who decided to overthrown him? Tanzania. Because there was no finantial interest in overthrowing him. He was not even tried and judged, he lived in a freaking apartment for the last 20 years of his life, he died 1 or 2 years ago...! What about the whole Iran-contras thing, and Rumsfeld meeting Saddam?
I know it's hard to understand, I know it sounds like I'm against america, but what I'm saying is, I'm against the whole world, the whole violent world is corrupt and sick. The allies, the brain-washed ignorant stupid terrorists, I criticize Brazil's government and social problems even more, only not here, you wouldn't know what I'm talking about. I'm against war and violence and stupidity.
The US and UK do not stand for what their government is trying to do.
