Ahh yes. Anything the US does is Bad, but anything that anyone else does is Acceptable. Even using retarded children in Iraq to blow up civilians.

I just wanted to say to HiddenReality, Alot of these people replying to U do not understand where U are coming from. It's all well and easy for one to sit in his armchair and watch CNN or FOX and speak of what they think they know of the ME. And they cannot be blamed because this is what the government and media WANT us to see. We are supposed to trust what is being reported tous from over the seas, but we cannot.

I also wouldn't place any value in anything anybody has to say about ANY country unless they themselves have been there and have seen for themselves what is truly going on.

I have been to the USA many times, and at the same token been to many Middle Eastern countries ... and IMO they both leave alot to be desired in terms of bias and even downright ignorant opinions of one another's races, religions and cultures. I have heard things being said (and even typed on here) that just leave a bad taste in my mouth, but I do not attack the persons saying it, it is their belief. We should be trying to help educate one another to how we see things, how we feel and what we know.

One with a middle eastern mind will not and cannot understand that of a westerner's unless he or she so chooses to educate themselves to it, go to visit the land and the people etc ... and vice versa. The people are VERY different.

This childish bickering amongst one another is not helping to solve anything, and it never will. If anything it is probably exactly what they want us to do, turn on one another. If we want a full-scale world war, keep at it, we're on the right path
When will we understand that we just are not all the same ? We are brought up differently for a reason. And world leaders are going to continue their wars, to kill for no real good reason and they will just succeed in continuing to divide us in our opinions of one another. Why are we letting them ?



Now back on topic ... NR!!! U got my vote sweetheart, this was just brilliant and SO Called for! I loved it. Damn smart, fine AND funny ... I just may have to visit Iran and soon haha

It might have started better if HiddenReality, didn't start with the insults and throwing around outlandish accusations.

PS. Whereabouts did you go to in the ME, have you been to Dubai ?

Nice post there, I have travelled to quite a few ME and asian countries, been to France and Italy and currently im in the UK. Out of all these places, even in the UK most people dont like america, and accept how much harm they do to the world, but for some reason i have net met an american i can get on with, maybe its because the americans i have met have all been arrogant idiots who believe there country is the best, most charitable and morally highest.. Maybe one day if i travel to the USA for any reason i might meat some people like yourself who can change my percecptions, but it would take a whole lot to make me forgive america for its evil deeds.

Hmmm, sounds like you a bit of an arrogant idiot yourself. What nationality are you ? you seem to be hiding it
You don't sound too wordly or widely travelled, your blanket statements support that.
I doubt america would want or need your forgiveness

LMAO, there you go I got a warning for this post. For calling you an arrogant idiot as you called americans. So much for a pro american board you ignoramus

Im mixed nationality and have lived in the UK for over 2 years, there is nothing wrong about making blanket statements when they are true. Now why do you feel the need to attack me instead of attacking my claims... Maybe that is because just like the whitehouse you are full of BS? Or is it because you know im right and are full of shame for what your country has done to NAI's SouthAmerican countries, Iraqis, palestinians, afghans vietnemese or the people of Japan?? I wonder how many people you have killed from just the small example of countries you have messed with?

Your claims are BS and some of them don't even make sense. I adress you, because it is your warped thinking which is behind what you say. You have presented NO fact, just a rant.
You are of the same ilk as those who claim that all muslims are terrorists and should be wiped out.
As others have said you're a hypocrit.

Once again just ramble No fact no nothing just half assed statements.
What did the Americans do to the people of Japan exactly ? Win WWII ?

This really is getting laughable, unfortunately I can't believe you think about half the things you say.

BTW, which country did you attend your madrassa ?

Now i see your sick mentality...Nuking Japan in your eyes was an act of freeing its people? Just like you claim you are doing in Iraq... So in your eyes liberation only comes at a cost... The japanese pay for it with by having its economy screwed over and being enslaved to cheap labour to the west. Iraq has payed for it in Billions of dollars of stolen oil, only after you starved hundreds of thousands of innocent children to death with your years of blockades of medical and food goods.

I dont know why im even bothering to reply to you, its obvious your head is constantly somewhere dark (can you guess where?) I bet bush has pains sitting..

OMG, you can't be serious. The 2 atomic bombings of Japan eneded WWII. The casualties while horrendous were just a tiny fraction of those killed in the Pacific theater. The majority killed by the Japanese.
I suggest, you actually read at least a little of the history of WWII Your comments are just plain ridiculous.

How exactly was the Japanese economy screwed over ? Under American stewardship they became one of the top 3 economies in the world
How were the US stealing oil ? Do you base anything you say in reality ?
Saddam himself skimmed hundreds of millions from the oil for food scheme, which was administered by the UN. Not to mention teh side deals some European countries had with Saddams regime.

Whoa, you have an astounding whit

HiddenReality...in my view it was not about liberation of Japan, it was about kicking their A$$ into defeat. unconditional surrender plain and simple. to change the Japanese ways since Japan was pretty much trying to conquer Asia since the 1930s. Japan used WMD on the Chinese and committed genocide on the Chinese as well as created slave labor in the Phillipines and other countries. It was not about liberation it was about defeating the enemy and changing the country that would not be a threat to the region. Same thing for Nazi Germany in Europe. Either nukes or firebombing was the method back then where pretty much no rules apply on both sides.

I dont know where you get the idea about Japanese economy getting screwed over when the Japanese screw themselves..... and slave labor to the west...think of where the Japanese are right now. At least we treat the Japanese better than the Japanese treat their victims, even when we had much hatred towards the Japanese since the bombing of Pearl Harbor. (shrugs) we could have just annihilate the Japanese completely and just ignore Japan's plea for surrender and mercy. We Americans aint like that.

Who has been stealing Iraqi oil ? and how were they doing this. Do you base anything you say in reality ?
Saddam himslef skimmed hundreds of millions from the oil for food scheme, which was a UN plan.

Again i cant even begin to argue with you... Its like me saying if we nuke america a couple of times it will stop the world tension and war on terror, so would you support nuking america, when it would be AMERICANS dying and not japanese?

And after reading and seeing a lot of japan on the internet, i would say the US has done more harm to it then good... Hey but at least now you can get them to make your Nike trainers for pittyfull wages.

We've done more harm than good? By making them one of the top economies in the world? By making them one of the richest countries in the world? By making them the top tech base in the world? If that's harm, I'd hate to see your idea of good.

Now there is something i can agree with, at least you are not trying to lie calling the nuking of japan liberation... As for pearl harbour ive read many places that the US knew it was going to happen and did nothing, kind of like what happened on 9/11 according to a lot of people.

"we could have just annihilate the Japanese completely and just ignore Japan's plea for surrender and mercy. We Americans aint like that. "

Well i cant agree there, to me what the US did in Japan was totally uneeded, you also justify it as act of war, but complain when something 100x smaller happens in NY... I dont know why many others cannot see the double standards america maintains. Its one rule for them and theirs and another for everyone else.

Exactly what would that prove or do ? You have no idea at all, what a stupid statement. Yeah nuking america will solve the worlds problems - what a moronic statement.
What about nuking the middle east, many people say that would solve the terrorist problem. Do you agree with that

And after reading and seeing a lot of japan on the internet, i would say the US has done more harm to it then good...

You've read Jack about Japan and WWII haven't you Because it's obvious you know nothing about what you're talking about Talk about an ignoramus.

Hey but at least now you can get them to make your Nike trainers for pittyfull wages.

Christ your so well informed that your confusing China with Japan - Come on, duh

What was unneeded in Japan? The nukes? Firebombing? Occupation? What do you mean?

Well, let's see. Our options at the end of WWII were:

1. Invade the Home Islands. Estimated casualties 1 MILLION dead, 1+ MILLION wounded. And IIRC that was ONLY counting Allied troops, and didn't take into account the fact that the only way to force a surrender would be to almost completely wipe out the Japanese people.

2. Drop Atomic bomb(s). May I add that if you have read ANYTHING about the end of WWII, the total casualties from the Atomic bombs dropped on Japan, were LESS than the casualties from the bombings of other cities. The reason they were so bad was that they were caused by one bomb, instead of thousands of them.
