Stop acting like a baby... Change needs to happen, and whether you like it or not, will happen; so instead of crying about "Oh, there might be a war." look at this as a way to bring our government closer to the people


I am really confused by the people on ATS the last few days...
You would think this Wikileaks was a godsend, considering this is the stuff we wouldn't get to dissect for another 50 years... We get to be our own historians; and with that, we can change the ending

The people have every right to know, read about and understand exactly how much the US has been screwing the world around. I hope this leads to total diplomatic isolation and ridicule for the US, but I know it wont. Because of these revelations, I have cancelled my planned trip to the US, and rebooked for a nice long weekend in Switzerland. Knowing what I do, I would never prop your economy with my hard earned money, something I hope many will do.

So who are "The people" you speak of? This is a very interesting post, I cannot help but wonder just who exactly you and others with such a sour attitude toward the US actually are. What makes you and anyone else think they have the right to read stolen American property? At the very least, the very least, the American tax payer should be upset, we paid for that information that you so believe belongs to you. Please rebutt and show your intelligence, I am anxious to know more about your hate for my country and how you think it is ok to steal from us, then.. then think you will be welcome at our airports or any other. Please, enlighten us all.

And I must add this leak wont change a single thing. Nothing will change I can promise and gaurantee that

Why would the gov't silence their top media personality? I mean do you sit out your top player on the bench in a championship game? That would be like actually finding OBL... you know, with age you eventually come to understand that people against big money die. It does not matter how but they do, they die.

Excuse me, I am going to peform a sock puppet show for my kids now. Enjoy your evenings.

Yep, i am sure the high ups in these intelligence groups will be laughing at how easy the public are manipulated into this stuff. They hear secret and have no idea how the stuff works.

I am sure it is a psychology program for some reason or another.

Truth be told the US would do loads better if we went back into isolation...imagine that citizens our tax money going back to our country? to feed our hungry, to cure our diseased, to treat our sick and not the rest of the worlds? Imagine peopel fighting there own wars Imagine no more Made in china garbage. Imagine dropping out of NATO and pushing the UN building into the sea... No allies only enemies

i cant really see what all the fuss is about.all countries try and gather intelligence on both friends and foes,because you never know whats going to happen.its just a little embarassing for the US to have been caught out slagging some of their allies off. whilst in the armyi served alongside US troops in afghan and iraq,this wouldnt have affected the way i worked with them so i dont think it should affect diplomatic ties.but i do think most diplomats are wankers anyway!! thanks

Look, I love my country (USA) but I hate what my government has become. These leaks show how my government is screwing around with the global community. About time we are made to look bad when we try to show how good we are. Don't blame Assange for the # that the US government has caused. I credit him with having the balls to stand up to the US. Nobody else has....
