I speak for most Americans.. We do not want war
No offense but your countries actions do suggest differently. There is clearly a pattern of destruction that accompanies the US political system. If your words were to be true wouldn't we have seen an uprising somewhere during the 60's?
Hiding behind a corrupt government is the easiest way to not take the blame for all these innocent lives that were destroyed by your country.
You do understand that not voting for example still makes you responsible for these crimes ?
*as a last note I see the good intentions in your post don't get me wrong but the above is what 99% of the non-US ATS'ers will probably.
To China and the world - a heartfelt and sincere appology to you, and your countries, on behalf of a citizenry under the foot of a criminaly directed and controlled 'American' government.
The 'American' government is not the government We the People of the United States placed into power, chose to elect willingly, or because of an understood personal truth. We are being lied to, tricked, and stolen from just as you yourselves are. America at one time stood for the foundation of Humanity, Justice for All, and Equal Rights. I suppose I could interject that those were simpler times, but I have no excuse for the offenses that the 'American' government has committed, nor do I therefore choose to offer one.
I am woefully ashamed of organizations like the Central 'Intelligence' Agency, and others within the puppetry that rules this citizenry, I will proclaim, to America's ruin. Why America's Military won't turn around and correct this great injustice is not understood by us.
I want to reach out to China, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, North Korea... Haiti, Venezuela, Columbia, Lybia... and every other country, and your governments... I am a voice that represents the United States of America. Who am I to talk to your governments? I am known as "nobody", just one Human Being who happens to be an American Citizen watching the horrible crimes the 'American' government is imposing upon our people, your people and the entire world! I personally appoligize to you and your indigenous goverments and ask: please try to work with the citizens of the United States of America, our Heritage and Legacy. Let's set up a council of peace... One NOT CALLED a United Nations, but instead a UNITED PEOPLES.
The United Peoples of Terra Firma
As a voice that represents the United States of America, I speak for most Americans... We do not want war... no matter what the 'American' government is doing... please respond with peace and not missles...We can find a way....I am one person... Just one person... Even a Chinese proverb states: "How do you remove a mountian? you start with removing one small stone..."
Well, I am that one small stone.. called 'nobody'.
I speak out for peace. BEFORE GOD, AND THIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE, I BESEECH YOU ALL... Please lets have peace, not war!
(The 'American' government (technically known as the Soveriegn State of Columbia), in association with Great Brittain (The governmental seat representing the Defender of the Faith and Prince of the Holy See) and other governments (Who possess dukedoms, lordships, knighthoods, and entitlements), in liege with Jesuit Orders and Druidic Covens originating from orders within Vatican City and of the House of Saud, are starting wars.... through financial enslavement through the IMF, removing our freedoms, inciting wars, invading other countries for selfish world controlling reasons... there are no "terrorists" except these very entities, starting wars just to increase organizational wealth and control)
Our soveriegn freedoms are just a game to the 'American' government, A.K.A. The Soveriegn State of Columbia. The United States of America was founded on principles based upon justice, righteousness, and freedoms. What you are witnessing today is the preplanned engagements by an organization that infiltrated the American framework, and according to secret agenda destroyed it's very bones and turned this 'country' into a mockery of what it originally existed as.
We beseech the World of Humanity to use prudence when dealing with America, yet give to her citizens the justice they deserve, and the sincerity this voice has reached out to you with.
Unfortunately yes, the government of 'America' is all that, and more... HOWEVER
I would like to invite those countries accepting this gesture of good will to take heed in advance that the People of these United States have a will to remain FREE... Please do not take this gesture of heartfelt sincerety as weakness. Please do not exploit it as weakness. But PLEASE, assist our people, who stand with you against a strong foe, an inhumane foe, to regain our Legacy, and allow such to blossom within your hearts as well.
Freedom brings the ultimate in Human Achievement - HUMAN achievement.
The Chinese peoples have MUCH to teach this world about Honor, about Morality, about our Own Selves! The Iranian Peoples of this world have much to teach us about Beauty, about our Intellect, and about our Histories! To the Iraquis, and Afghani Peoples, We wish you to heal from the wounds inflicted upon you by out of control CRUSADERS that believe they have control... and dominate all to its ruin, over jealousy and fear.
We, the People of the United States of America, believe that ultimately, Freedom will prevail, upon those with stronger human values than that which is currently in control. Human Value, is what will ultimately let us all blossom afterwards... remove the policies, and install the virtuities.
Remember, I am the Voice of America and her people. I am 'nobody'. Please, if you arrive, do not come to hurt a nobody. Come instead, to liberate and to avenge nobody. Remember:
Nobody CARES. Nobody LISTENS. Nobody LIKES YOU. Nobody WANTS YOU. Nobody BELIEVES IN YOU. Nobody HEARS YOU. Nobody DEPENDS UPON YOU. Nobody RESPECTS YOU. Nobody LOVES YOU. Nobody's PERFECT!
Thank you for your MATURE and ASCENDED understandings.
The Citizens of the United States of America.

Please... begging for peace from a country renown for it's abuses against it's own citizenry is an act of cowardice. I'm all for a strict foreign policy vis a vis MINDING OUR OWN BUSINESS. Standing up to that which you fear and despise is patriotic, even if the majority disagrees. Change comes from within. You are correct, one person is but a grain of sand on the mountain, but it's OUR MOUNTAIN that needs moving, not China, not Iraq, not India, not Russia.
I'll give you that mistakes have been made, fear got the better of us. Blindness, bitterness and complacency are common place. But if you truly want to effect change and show the world that WE are not our government... then change OUR minds not the worlds.
If you were perhaps more secure within yourself you wouldn't feel
that a diplomatic resolution that may inspire peace is anything but cowardly.
I agree entirely with your last statements...
I do more than my part educating the masses that surround me.
The problem I face is:
-They think I make up my words out of thin air (when the words are out there to read)
-They are too lazy/too tired working so many long hours they barely have enough time to feed their families...
(but they will have enough time for Facebook, Farmville and BS like that
because they get some immediate satisfaction that the required reading(s) of the:
-U.S. Constitution
-Bill of Rights
-Declaration of Independence do not afford (them)
Unfortunately "people" feel/think Politics is a personal subject (which it should not be)
A disagreement can actually damage a friendship! Crazy, right?edit on 16-11-2010 by Chinesis because: (no reason given)

Did you go to the Obama school of foreign relations?
STOP APOLOGIZING FOR THE UNITED STATES!! STOP APOLOGIZING FOR ME!!
I for one, and there are a whole bunch more like me, we are extremely proud of our country. In less than 300 years we have risen from a few boatloads of homeless people and natives to the greatest country on the Earth!! We have revolutionized the worlds politics, the worlds economy, the worlds industry, and the level of human rights in the world!! We subsidize practically every other country on this Earth with our goodwill! We learned the hard lessons of religious tolerance, slavery, and suffrage in just a handful of decades while other countries have struggled with it for millenia without getting it corrected!
Listen OP, and Listen World:
Do not believe for one second that the whining panderers are representative of the population of the United States! Do not believe for one second that the common American citizen would apologize for being an American! Do not believe for one second that anybody outside of the press outlets and a handful of pansies like Obama are scared of your terrorists, your plagues, or your bombs! Here in America we are far more worried about the relationship between Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins than we are the relationship between Christians and Muslims. Here in America we are far more worried about whether or not the local store will run out of ice on 4th of July, than we are worried about 4th of July offending someone! We are far more worried about DWI laws on New Year's Eve than we are worried about some fake or moronic terrorist setting off another smoke bomb in Times Square. Here in America, our Junior High Kids in the Midwest can make far more effective improvised devices than those publicized on the television sets from well-funded terrorist groups!
No, we Americans are not sorry. We are not sorry for a single thing that our duly elected, representative government of the people, for the people, and by the people has done! We may not always agree with every action, but we all agree that this is the best system on Earth, and we live in the Greatest Country on Earth, and nobody is willing or capable of taking away our identity, our pride, or our Freedoms!
China tortured, killed Tibetans in 2008 crackdown, rights group says
China broke international law, says Human Rights Watch, which spoke to 203 witnesses. The government says 20 people died, but not at the hands of security forces.
July 21, 2010|By Barbara Demick, Los Angeles Times
Reporting from Beijing — For offenses as minor as printing a Tibetan flag, sending a text message about rioting or holding a photograph of the Dalai Lama, large numbers of Tibetans were badly beaten and tortured, and in some cases killed, by Chinese security forces in 2008, a human rights group reported Thursday.
In the most comprehensive report yet on the crackdown on Tibetans during and after March 2008 protests, the most serious in decades, New York-based Human Rights Watch interviewed 203 people described as Tibetan eyewitnesses.
20 TIBETANS KILLED BY CHINESE FORCES IN NGABA PROTESTS

20 TIBETANS KILLED BY CHINESE FORCES IN NGABA PROTESTS
20,000 Tibetans in the region are reported to have joined the uprising
Dharamsala/New York – New information and photos of the protests in Ngaba "Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture" ("TAP"), in Amdo province of Tibet (present-day Sichuan Province) on March 16th have been made available today by local sources. According to earlier reports from the Tibetan Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, a protest erupted on March 16th at around 11:30am in Ngaba.
The protests were sparked when Chinese authorities ordered the over 20 monasteries in the Ngaba “TAP” to raise the Chinese flag. Following a prayer ceremony at Kirti Monastery in Ngaba, thousands of monks started chanting “Independence for Tibet” and “Long Live the Dalai Lama.” Chinese troops stationed in the area responded with violence, but the protest spread outside of the monastery grounds and into the nearby market square. Students from Tibetan Middle School and 400 nuns from the largest nunnery in the region are reported to have also joined the protest.
The same day, protests spread to the five largest neighboring towns: Tsaruma (including at the Mamy Nunnery), Meruma, Charo, Achok, and Tsenyi. Monks held protests at the following monasteries: Se Monastery, Gomang Monastery, Andu Monastery, Khashi Monastery, Hotsik Monastery, and Tsenyid Monastery. At Taktsang Lhamo Monastery over 400 monks protested and in total over 20,000 people within the Ngaba “TAP” are reported to have joined the protests. Reports received just one hour before the sending of this release indicate that nomadic groups in Ngaba “TAP” have also started protesting.

In China, the precise number executions performed is kept a state secret; estimates by Amnesty International say there were at least 1,770 executions in the country in 2005, but says that the number could be as high as 8,000. In comparison, only 60 prisoners were executed in the US the same year.
The number is so high, apparently, that the Chinese government sees fit to operate something that seems like it's right out of one of the 'Saw' movies: a lethal injection bus, which comes complete with a camera for transmitting a live video feed of the deaths back to central command.
Apparently, prisoners are strapped into an automatic sliding stretcher then given their injection on the bus. The video is watched by authorities to make sure the killing is up to snuff.
Rather chillingly, the bus is produced by Chinese ambulance manufacturer Jinguan Auto. (From: Jalopnik via Buzzfeed)
We, the people are the minority in the country

The number of F&Ss indicates to me that this site has been taken over by a few organized anti-American groups (not individuals) that are simply trying to spread disinformation for their own purposes. Couple that with all of the ridiculous and unsubstantiated wild-eyed speculation it has left me with little interest in further following the site. If that was the purpose of the organized anti-American groups then they have succeeded. Because most Americans love their country and would never consider cowing down to China or anyone else, soon the anti-American groups will be left to respond to each other. Congrats!!
