Someone get uncle sams head out of his ass please.

When millions of people in africa die from genocide, americans don't give a shit, when leaders that their govt propped up send death squads into villages, americans don't give a shit. To believe that just because the victims were american, that should make it unique, is just self masturbating bullshit. Why would a poor person in africa even think twice or even care about a few thousand americans, just like most americans don't care about what happens to other people. Was it unique when a few thousand Afghanistan civillians were slaughtered? If you put this of less importance as killing of civillians that live in your country, than your false tears are simply that. Your idea of justice or what is wrong and right is not an idea of things that happens, instead yours if just, if it happens to americans it is very unique, but when it happens to other people, oh well. I say that sept 11 is no different from the sept 11 overthrow of Alliende when the american backed pinochet was put in power, and went on his killing sprees against chilleans. No different from the U.S. backed and allowed the indonesian army to massacure one million people. No different from U.S. supported Oppression of kurdish by the Turkey govt.

If you can't say that a baby in the twin towers if just as important as a baby in Iraq, or an african nation, or a baby in palestine, or a baby in afghanistan, than you have a truncated morality and a truncated sense of justice, they are not real.

J,M&M, the victims weren't just American, they were all nationalities. It isn't Americans that cause the problems in Africa, its Africans killing each other. America isn't in charge of EVERYTHING BAD that goes on in the world.

I can say that J.M&M and I have. What I will no longer say is anything to you. I find you to be a most disagreeable person, and what I don't understand is why you continue to live in America, yet you can't stand it. The solution is simple, move to the workers paradise you think exists somewhere. And next time you allude to someone having their head up their ass, try looking in the mirror first! Stay off my threads please, thank you.

So why do you think sept 11 2001 was unique to cilleans? Was sept 11 when the president they voted for was overthrown by the CIA and brought in a murderous dictator, more unique to them than something that happened miles away?

How do you connect the facts of what america has done to the world with hating america?
