Topic: Debate on United States Foreign Policy | |
---|---|
American foreign policy does more harm than good for whom? The Americans? The Chinese? The Peruvian llama industry? ![]() US foreign policy is concentrated on advancing US strategic interests. Naturally it will involve our allies and our detractors in various ways - generally helping our allies and mitigating the efforts of our detractors or antagonists. As it should be. We are not out to take over the world. We do not need to dominate others to advance our common goals. Nonetheless we do have important interests in maintaining peace and stability and growing our economy and making the world a better place for us and our children and our children's children. One does their best. ![]() {b]People outside the US have a very limited basis for understanding our best interest and do not have a very good perspective on internal US matters actually. That is primarily the province of our State Department and Foreign Affairs bureaucracy. EXACTLY!!!!!.... ![]() |

![]() In this comedic debate they argue that the eradication of the radical Islamic terrorist government of Afganistan, The Taliban, best known for public executions for "religious offenses" and brutality against women and the hosts of Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda was not a good US accomplishment and that the US/coalition forces in Afghanistan were worse than the Taliban!! ![]() On the plus side, they make this nonsensical argument with a straight face causing it to be even more farcical! ![]() ![]() I call it "Hot Stuff"! You have to pay good money to see a routine like this in a club! ![]() |

Definitely funnier than the other fatuous fruitcake.
http://news.yahoo.com/afghan-taliban-gunmen-attack-popular-kabul-lakeside-hotel-000030048.html These are the Taliban who are supposedly better than the US soldiers who are trying to help the Afghanis under attack for irreverent picnic-ing! |

Nothing Funny About This
If you flip over the rock of American foreign policy of the past century, this is what crawls out… invasions … bombings … overthrowing governments … occupations … suppressing movements for social change … assassinating political leaders … perverting elections … manipulating labor unions … manufacturing "news" … economic and political sanctions ... death squads … torture … biological warfare … depleted uranium … drug trafficking … mercenaries … It's not a pretty picture. It is enough to give imperialism a bad name. Read the full details in: Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II. by William Blum |

I would read the book, but I'm already angry enough. Besides I already know who is behind it all.
WHO TO BLAME: http://www.theglobalistreport.com/new-world-order-2012/ "In 2012 very few people understand what the New World Order is all about and how the New World Order has evolved to what it is today. This lack of understanding is derived from a systematic denial by the Globalists and Politicians [WHO SAY] --> that the New World Order doesn’t exist." (note the confusing double negative in the cut and pasted snippet above. I corrected it with [who say]) (A denial that something "doesn't exist" is a confirmation that it does exist. ---> I wish people would learn to write.) ![]() AND OF COURSE THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE SNAKE, WHO WORSHIP SATAN AND MONEY, THE CABAL OF WORLD ECONOMICS AND GLOBALIZATION. ![]() AND OF COURSE: ![]() AND OF COURSE: ![]() AND OF COURSE NURSE RATCHET. ![]() Now you know the whole truth.
