> We don't get any oil from Iraq.
You're in control of it. Even if you don't buy it, specifically, you've inserted American companies into its production and can decide who receives it, what currency it's sold in, etc.
> Absolutely nothing you've said makes any sense because you're cherry picking your examples and being completely unreasonable.
Not at all. You're responsible for the horrible deaths of millions. As long as you keep thinking that some good deeds justify murders you're killers.
Do you know what they kill a faithful 20-year librarian who only killed one innocent kid? A murderer.
Do you know what they call a dedicated doctor who only raped one anesthetized patient? A rapist.
> We pressured Mubarak also...
Ohhh, "pressure". That's like doing something but it's guaranteed not to cost you anything. How... bold.
> And like I pointed out the United States has always been the world's largest donor: The biggest portion of U.S. aid goes to Iraq ($4.27 billion) [...]
And also the largest proportion of your ordnance.
And like I pointed out, that money is less than you spend on bombs, ammo, or air-conditioning for your soldiers. You pay trillions to flatten some place and a pittance on fixing them up. More-over, much of the aid, not only isn't, but gets delivered by profiteering American companies and comes right back to you.
> Yes we have messed up a few times, but we've gotten it right more often than not
You're blind to your failures - if we listen to you you've never gotten it wrong.
People who excuse their mistakes can't cherry-pick and claim credit for their successes. As long as you're running around justifying killing any innocents and covering it up, you aren't doing good the rest of the time even if your rose-colored view was accurate, which it is not.
> you still count point out an example of anyone else doing it better. You don't live in reality.
Did Scientologists kill tens of thousands last year? No? Well then they're better than you. Because as long as you're unabashed killers who reserve the right to fight war for profit you're not being anyone's friend.
> The Syrians do not want US intervention, that is bullshit and like I already pointed out--we're already "liberating" three other Muslim countries and that isn't going out so well.
You're attacking two on false pretenses. That's not liberation and your intentional blindness to this is the issue.
Perhaps the Syrians are more afraid of you than their dictator.
> It must be painful to have to live in a country you hate so much. If so, why not move? Why are you here?
The land and resources are as much mine as yours.
> You clearly hate America, so why stay?
You hate America - you refuse to admit errors, learn from your mistakes, and adapt.
Nobody outside really cares about the USA. If you weren't invading people you could quietly go do your own thing.
> Oh and you're welcome for the freedom our country extends to you
Oh yes, the freedom to be apprehended and shipped off to Syria for years of waterboarding and electroshock. (The same Syria you claim to have no influence over.)
- diogenescynic 15y agoYou're an absolute hypocrite. If America is so bad leave. Scientologists are better? Laughable. And please what country/government hasn't committed some wrong? You're holding the USA to the most unreasonable hypocritical standard. Why are you not condemning Russia for Stalin or China for Mao or N. Korea or Iraq for Saddam etcetera? They've all killed tens of millions more. Your silence speaks volumes. Is America the only country who has done wrong?
