I strongly support Julian Assange

[Mr. Cool Ice]

Americans, take a step back from this and look at everything objectively. He is a journalist who is reporting THE TRUTH. Not Americans side, not the side of the European Union, but these documents are the truth of what has happened and the crimes that have been committed against Afghanistan.

The truth needs to be known. He is the only one willing to find and expose the greatest war mongering nation of our time.

Maybe some lives will be lost over this, but however many American lives are lost it will be nothing compared to the vast numbers of innocent civilians who have been murdered in Afghanistan by Americans. One death is a death too many but the world needs to know what happened. If the USA is willing to murder hundreds of thousands of civilians for their war, then the Americans should not be upset with a handful of American lives so the truth can be told.

Flame away Americans. Your lies and crimes are still going to be told.

war is very dangerous to everybody around. it's not clean and surgical like you see on the movies. everybody gets hurt. nobodies innocent and in most cases our soldiers are 18-20 years old expected to make life or death decisions under EXTREME pressure so guys like you have the freedom to post this on the internet.

ever seen this before: if you can read this thank a teacher, if you're reading this in English thank a soldier.

there is a reason this post isn't in German, Japanese, Russian, Iranian, Korean etc ect ect

[Ethersync]

Never heard that before but it makes a lot of sense.

I see statements like this all the time and I still don't understand how the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is about the freedom in the United States? What freedom is threatened?

Thought about this for 5 seconds and came up with the logical response.

One of the reasons so many can read this in English is because. The English went to their country, killed so many natives and made the survivors speak English. Just like the German, Japanese, Russian, Iranian, Korean etc ect were trying to do.

Which is why S. Americans speak Spanish or Portuguese. Or were they going there to give the natives freedom. LOL

"I see statements like this all the time and I still don't understand how the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is about the freedom in the United States? What freedom is threatened?"

I read a few years ago that the reason china didn't start a war with the US is due to strategic oil reserves. china could 'field' their military for 3 days on the reserve that they had on hand while the US could go for 6 months.... now think about that in terms of control of oil fields etc...or suppose we stepped out and Russia and china took control of the oil feilds... how much do you think oil would cost he US? how long do you think it would take for the stuff to come crashing down and Iran to exerting 'religious' pressure in the area? and believe me I'm totally in favor of telling the whole middle East to fuck off and speak to us again and lose our phone number. I think with what we spend on that fucked up area of the planet it would be cheaper to pay $300 a barrel for oil myself.

I strongly support the CIA taking care of that little faggot the way he should be taken care of, he WILL get his. So all your supportive words wont mean shit nor save him when he is alone in an alley with a CIA assassin some day.

A patriotic yet flawed comment.

The most educated people in the world speak English. Always have, always will. The fact that you are writing and reading this board in English doesn't mean a whole lot. I can show you web boards in Chinese or Russian that dwarf GFY and not a word of English is spoken.

English is not superior, it is simply another form of communication and a great middle language for those who speak another language. The Americans do not own it. They did not spill blood so we can read and write it. There are many reasons to go to war, usually revolving around greed and power, but defending the English language has never been one of those reasons.

Furthermore, if we were reading this board in German, Japanese, Russian, Korean or any other language, why would it matter?

[TheDoc]

Americans and the World already know we all fought an illegal war and then attacked a country that didn't attack us at all. Nobody seems to care or be doing anything about it now, that isn't going to change in the future.

This is just retarded. Was the US ever really at risk of being conquered by the Germans, Japanese, Russians, Iranians or Koreans? No, it was not. Learn your history.

Also, you can thank the Russian army for helping defeat Nazi Germany. Without the Russians Germany very well may have conquered Europe. They were one of our biggest allies in World War II.

Obviously my point flew right over your head.

The reason you speak English is because English people went to America and invaded it. Yes there were other nations but the main one was England.

America sold Eastern Europe down the line to Stalin to keep him in the war. Roosevelt said to Stalin, "Where your troop stop is yours".

America came into WW2 because Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Otherwise it would of just stayed making a profit from it.

[Paul Markham]

Afghanistan has strategic benefits. Otherwise Russia would not of invaded it. Now the US has I wonder how long they will fight to keep.
