Hypocrisy.
What about the millions of innocent people America has killed over the

I have very little sympathy. You are responsible for the government
you voted in. 11-9 was a consequense of past US government policy.
I hope Americans have got the message.
It's not nice getting your cities bombed.
Many times more people got killed in Bush's subsequent wars.
And they have not been won or fixed the problem, they have made things
worse.
Still, what do you expect when you elect a retard as president?
Incredibly, there is an even bigger retard in the pipeline in the
shape of the Palin object.

In fact, the terrorists won, America has been brought to it's knees in
part due to the cost of the wars and security.

Folly Folly Folly.

Hating our government doesn't mean you need to show us (the people)
disrespect. *That is within yourself and I'm thankful for most of your
country's folk who are our friends.
You say you come here for visits and have friends here...why do you
find it necessary to be so vile here?

Some folks live in their own self imposed and hateful world. They get up
every morning knowing that their twisted views trump those of 100's of
million of normal people. Hard to imagine that anyone can be an alqueida
sympathizer.- Hide quoted text -

Americans live in Lalaland. They don't give a toss about the rest of
the world.They think they can just pillage it at will and with
impunity.
Well you have had a messge.

You can't.

Are you receiving?

As I said, there are some people who live in their own self imposed and
hateful world who know their views trump those of normal people. Have
someone read what you write to you. Maybe it will sink in?

You both have your views George. I'm American but I tend to agree with
Harry. I grew up during Vietnam, trying to understand why my country
was fighting against the clear will of the Vietnamese people. Our
country, born in revolution against colonial (and corporate) control,
was fighting for the colonial powers.

[...deleting valuable material, with respect...]

The BEST summary of - why Vietnam - was written back in 1967 by the
late, great, foreign correspondent Bernard Fall: "Last Reflections on
a War". The book breaks off abruptly when Fall is killed.

In the War Remnants Museum in Saigon, I saw the words of a senior
American official, explaining that we cannot afford to let them take
over their own country because we need the tungsten and tin, among
other strategic elements. Will try to find his name.

We should never forget those shameful pictures of the choppers lifting
off the American Embassy in Saigon (?) with desperate locals clinging
to the chopper --
terrified of the bloody retaliation forthcoming from the Viet Cong --
which came into being largely because we never understood why we were
there.

99-44/100 of people, not just sheeple, haven't a clue about who Ho Chi
Minh was, and why Vietnam so badly wanted independence from the last
in its succession of masters, going back to China, which ran it for a
thousand years.

"Those who do not study history are doomed to relive it". Santayana

And we are doing just that.
