The fact that our idiot president handled the situation as poorly as he did doesn't change that premise one bit.
Rest assured, if something like 9-11 should ever happen again, no matter who's in the White House, this country will kick some more ass and we won?t bother with getting your permission then either  |
I asked a Japanese friend why the Japanese are friendly with the USA after you assholes burned every man, woman and child in one of their cities.
He said they basically blamed themselves, because their government at the time was a bunch of fascist assholes, and they kind of see it as their fault. They of course wish you hadn't burnt up their civilians, but they were willing to forgive.
They looked at the cause of the problem, and took a bit of blame for their actions that caused the "event".
Your country didn't do any of those things. Here we are like 7 years later, and you people still refuse to educate yourselves on why a large group of people halfway around the world want to kill you all so bad.
I don't need to sit here and explain to you why 50 years of failed foreign policy has put you in the situation you're in, you could find out if you wanted to learn.
I'm not a USA hater, but a large portion of your population is so defensive about all of this, it's hard to even have a conversation. Another large portion is just really power thirsty, and says stuff like "bomb them all" and "kill them all" and other stupid blanket statements.
The "USA first" philosophy is not needed, but you guys feel like you'd be "unpatriotic" if you were to stop feeling this way. Are norwegians "norwegian first" ? Do they care?
You should be proud of your country, you've done in 200 years what it took thousands of years for any other country to... not accomplish. But really you should be proud of the good things your country did with their massive power, and right now you can't.
