I know the US isn't guiltless but we have been on the right side of every war we've been involved in. We nevered conquered another country.
OMG I am sorry man but that is such and arrogant statement, America has been on the right side of every war. Lets name the last three wars America has been part of. The second golf war they went to war on lies. On faulty intelligence, the ends DOES NOT justify the means. Saddam had no weapons he said so many times he let arms inspectors in. (yes he was secretive but that is his right. he does not have to lie down for America) and we find out now that he didn’t have any. Afghanistan. This was a very good move, bush attacked the root of the problem after 911 I agreed with this war and I commended bush for it. Rather then attacking everything is sight after 911 bush thought it through then attacked. Then we go back to 1990 to the first golf war. Just curious do you know how that war was started. Ill tell you. Kuwait was drilling at an angle and taping oil on Iraq’s side of the boarder. In effect they were stealing Iraq’s oil. saddam found out, told them to stop, they wouldn’t and so saddam invaded. America thinking they were the best then went in and attacked Iraq, in effect America defeated the thieves. Now tell me was America on the "right" side in 2 of those last three wars. NO lets look at some of the other wars they were a part of. In Vietnam they tried to impose their capitalistic views on a country that was going to become communist is that right or wrong to impose your views on others. Then in Afghanistan they fueled supplies to the Arabs so that Afghanistan would not be taken over by the USSR. Then in WWII the Americans only entered the war only after they had been attacked even thou Britain and France and Canada was asking for their help b4 hand and even thought Hitler was committing the holocaust where was there urge to be the law enforcement of the world then. then lets go way back to the 19th century. America annexed New Mexico, Texas, and California from Mexico. They took over that land. (so don’t tell me the US has never taken over other countries directly. heaven knows how many countries they have taken over indirectly.) Back then they also annexed Washington stat, which was originally going to be part of Canada when Canada gained independence. And your telling me they aren’t gutless. America isn’t your right but they are nowhere near innocent either. Don’t get me wrong wither I like America I will probably live there one day and be a citizen. But I really do despise there foreign polices and really wish they would just sit in there own country and not worry about what is going on in the middle east the only reason 911 happened was because they would not stop influencing the middle east whether they were financing a rebel group or a government or actual there trying to oust leaders they didn’t like

fighting is part of mans nature
Personally I feel that man is good. Go to any individual and ask them some basic questions about war and justice and they will all reply in the same way but when you get groups of people now that is where things get bugged up.
That is all for now cus I just saw this topic. Topic and I don’t want confer too much at one time other wise people start missing the points that are being brought up.
