PRETORIA - A threat of 'one bullet, one American' was cheered when shouted outside the United States embassy in Pretoria on Thursday as hundreds of picketers protested US foreign policy in the Middle East. “The Americans are the biggest terrorists around the world. They committed terrorism against Cuba, Venezuela, and many other countries in South America. Now they have decided that the Middle East is their home base. Our message is that there is no home for you, otherwise you will go home in your coffins. Very soon, you will hear a slogan of 'one bullet one American," said Sheikh Shuaib Booley, chairperson of the Ahlul Bayt Islamic Council of South Africa, to cheers from the crowd. Booley led the crowd in chanting “Allahu Akbar” as embassy employees watched from a distance.

So, maybe we should cut all American aid to South Africa till these people learn to shut up. The people there will revolt against these jerks trying to disrupt the peace in their country. If they ask us nicely, we will target and destroy these people that are trying to force their people into submission.

Your country has no right to anything in their country.
That is what being a sovereign country means.
Military action against people of differing views to your country, in another country, is an act of war.

I personally have suggested a diet of white powdered donuts and Brach's bridge mix to fight off the virus. It has worked everywhere it has been tried. I am proof positive.

It sounds entirely reasonable to limit each American to only having a single bullet.
That way, they would be far more careful about the use of their precious bullet, and there would probably be far fewer fatal shootings.

Pretoria offers no actual military threat to America.
Military action against people of differing views to your countries, in another country, is an act of war, which would make your country the bad guys going to war against another country that does not have the ability to defend itself against you.
So, to be true to your principles, you have to simply butt out.

Yeah, we should not be interfering, we should also not be giving them one stich of aid. Right now, the Brits seem to control a lot of that country, our presence there is to assist the Brits be secure. The Brits do not belong there either. If these people need food, we should supply them with seeds and maybe drill them some wells, not hand them food that makes suppliers rich. Educate the people to take care of themselves. Right now, the aid actually benefits the government more than it benefits the people of that country.

Most of the money for humanitarian aid goes into the pockets of people providing the medicines and food to the people. Teaching these people how to more successfully provide for themselves is much better and it actually lowers their dependance on the USA. I know our government wants these people dependent on us to survive, but it doesn't have to be that way. Africa has water under the ground, we could drill many wells to help them instead of supplying them with bottled water, which I see in many of the ads they have out there of help being given to these people.

I thoroughly agree that the humanitarian aid should be distributed in a way that fairly gets it to those in need, rather than any group that is trying to use it as a tool for control. I don't however, think that such aid should be stopped.
I do think that a military presence is NOT called for. American troops should defend it's own borders, not its far-flung money making interests.

dood, you seem to have lost it. The poster you are referring to is saying he want's to do exactly what you say. Butt out and stop interfering with our aid. We should stop interfering in their affairs, and yours as well. We don't need to bother any nation that doesn't like us.
