has the USA turned to a menace?

Post by zoonpolitikon »

It´s about the well-known sense of antiamericanism, which has increased specially because of the policy of preventive war adopted by President Bush.
It makes us to hear things as that USA is not a friendly country, but a real menace, in so far as it would not hesitate in striking another country, in case of a minimal conflict of interests.
I think it´s absurd. As a great admirer of American people and culture, and specially of its values, I still believe the USA is not a menace, but a friendly and welcoming country.
...Am i right?

That´s the point, Bush is the menace. However, Bush was reelected by the US people, that is, by the country.
What I am concerned about is what are the Americans thinking about Bush arrogant policy. Don´t they care about the harmful efeccts it can cause? Are they ignoring that is much better to be admired than to be fearsome?
You're right, Dixie, but for the people of a country which is being threatened there is no difference wether the menace comes from the president or from the country itself.
I'd like to know how concerned the americans are about the sense of anti-americanism. Recent researchs has shown that the number of foreing students in the US universities has decreased more than 30%, not only because of the increasingly restricive immigration laws, but also because a lot of those students would feel unsafe in the USA, not to mention a lot of others who are going to look for other countries, because of the mentioned unfriendly image the USA is gaining through this disastrous Bush era.

well, USA is not a menace, i disagree that bush is a menace as well, though morever all of his recent actions can cause eyebrows to raise, but the fact that he was re-elected. shows that people still trust him...
if its about the oil thing that he craves,
thats the sad part, he can just sell the oil and make iraq or any arabian country prosper, by giving the money to that country
especially that no one really is ruling as we speak, remember saddam ? he is in jail... ayt ?

i'll be a bit bold in saying that... all the things that are happening now... is prophesized in the bible,,,,
so that means all these unpopular actions, issues ...
are pieces of the big prophesy that is coming,
which is the end is near...

so i guess we need to meditate and keep this in mind,
USA IS NOT A MENACE....
wiggle it just a little bit ™

can we just promote and use the water that the Filipino engineer invented instead of gas? i'm really waiting for it to be released in the market and be used by everyone. but not all agree to that. you see, many businessmen won't agree to that and some coutries as well. their business will go down. :roll:

lol!!! I wish people would stop saying that. The bible can be translated to suite anyone’s agenda. So can every other religious text. The bible does not directly prophesize any recent events, but it rather vaguely describes things that can be manipulated. Some may see this as a "bold statement", but just rub your eyes a little; maybe you'll see a bit better. :P

Dangers.

It makes me sad to experience nations exposed as dangers and so wrong, knowing that every living being is a potential threat to himself and mankind.

In less than 50 years mankind probably does not exist.

I just want to cry. My poor country ... I love this country -- just like all of you love Brazil, China or Vietnam or wherever. All of this criticism begs the question as to just how must responsibility an individual citizen has when it comes to what a government does. If 125,000,000 Americans vote against GWB and he still wins, does that implicate them in everything that happens thereafter? Of course not. We cannot stop paying taxes to protest what our government does, just as you cannot. We can, though, vigorously voice our discontent -- which we do -- through the voting polls, the media and forums such as this.

Let me just say this: No, we are not a nation of "Ugly Americans," although some of us are. We are also not a nation of hate-mongers, hillbillies, yokels, or racists, although some of us most certainly are. We are a country that has been described as a "melting pot," but I don't think this is accurate any longer; rather, we are a "tossed salad" comprised of ethnicities from all over the world that have stayed in the same bowl and have a common dressing, but that's about it.

I will be the first to admit that the United States deserves the criticisms being directed at it today; but consider, please, the fact that September 11 is still fresh in most Americans' minds, and Pearl Harbor is not that distant of a memory either. We were attacked, and despite the knee-jerk responses on the part of our government since then, what you would do in our place?

Thanks for listening.

Regardless of Mr. Bush's Policies the American people were in a time of fear when you think about it. Change is a hard thing to do when you are already living in fear (after 9/11). You can understand the American populuation being reluctant to remove him from office at a time when there is some national security issues.

He won't be the President forever; unfortunately he probably won't leave a great legacy for the American people themselves.

This is why there was such a huge campaign for people to VOTE! Unfortunately alot of people once again chose not to.

Maybe the problem with democracy is laziness! :cry:

Why attack Bush as many of you have? Clinton bombed Serbia and no one cried!! This is purely political rhetoric.

Think about it. USA is the most benevolent super power in history.Rome, Greece, Babylon, Persia, Egypt??

Now, That said. Take a look at this! Perhaps there is more to politics than meets the eye.

I wouldn't say that everyone is attacking BUSH maybe challenging some of his decision making; but hey that happens to every powerful politician. No one will agree with every decision you make. The facts are as they are though that Mr. Bush went against the UN (which pretty much made them look useless) and attacked on grounds that have now been deemed unjustifiable; as there were no weapons of mass destruction. The UN had been saying this for quite sometime. I know that various Governments around the World followed America to War based on this assumption. My country included.

Why can't they just come out now and say; well we know now that we made a mistake there were no weapons but......these are the additional reasons for the action taken...

I suppose honesty is a policy you don't expect from world leaders!

"Mission accomplished!" that's what he used to say. Now admitting that he wanted that war, so he could spend Americans' taxes on his family's weapon business would make him an idiot of the century and a big pile of s*** in the US history. It's too hard to admit he was wrong, shazzam. It's too hard... :lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree that it is a good thing that this criminal is being brought to justice. But maybe the price was a little too high. It is the deception that is the concern. But I do see your point Danyet!

the price was tooooo high for the iraqi people.
main reason not because saddam is a criminal, for sure it was because of the oil, first things american soldiers secured when they got there was oil wells, " and not the iraqi museum in which kies the iraqi history for ages".
what happened in abu ghraib and guantanamu bay says that us only follow un resolutins, geneva, and human rights when that pleases her and only against other countries. but when it comes to its own actions, wipe all of that.
same as happening in uk today

So nice of you to speak for them all. Which Iraqi people are you speaking of? The ones who agree with terrorism or the ones who welcome democracy for their children's children? Not everybody in Iraq would agree with your agenda.

dear friend
it's not my agenda. it's the american agenda that we see in iraq.
difference between terrorist and us army is that us army is stronger and internationally oficial, other than that, they r the same. iraqi groups kill citizens" and we call them terrorists for that", and american do the same thing" but in this case, nothing is said to them or maximium we say ooops, it's a mistake, may be next time they'll kill less civillians"

both of them consider civillians as disposable casuality of war

yea, right
civillians killed by us army much more than those killed by iraqi groups, and the worse, us never admit they made a mistake.
that if we believe it is " which i don't, and msot people don't " .
best example the attempt to murder the italian jurnalist after she was freed by the iaqi groups, the funny thing she mentioned that iraqis have warned her that us army may try to kill her. and that was right.

us army treat iraqi worse tahn they treat animals. if us citizen was killed, it won't be forgotten that easy, but others as i said are desposable. what happened in abu ghraib proves that. or u might think it wasn't us soldiers who did that?
may be ghosts did it, oh, u mean terrorists, i agree with u then, terrorists did that " us terrorists"

There is no evidence that Giuliana Sgrena was targeted for murder by anyone except maybe by her terrorist captors.
Given the tone of your post and the way you assume that the terrorists are telling the truth one can only assume that you are a terrorist or a sympathizer yourself. Say"Hi" to Kadaffi Duck for me.

What Italian journalist? Are you sure that they intentionally assassinated this person. It just doesn't sound right to me. Are you sure this person wasn't caught up in a "friendly fire" situation.

I don't believe for one minute that US troops are acting like terrorists. I also disagree with the fact that fighting for any reason is good. There has always been friction and death in the Middle East. I wish the rest or the World would stay out of it too and let these guys do what you want to each other. If your idea of freedom is living in a dictatorship (Hussein and others) fine. Same thing applies in any other country where the main issues are land and religion! :twisted:

To me I was thinking that US was actually trying to obtain freedom for people there. Once they go you will have a democratically elected government. Isn't that what you want? :roll: :?

dear friend
what kind of freedom u r talking about? freedom to humiliate civillians the way us military did in abughraib and others prisons?
freedom to bomb innocent civillians in thier homes and in hospitals?, that makes us worse than saddam. at least he knows and we know he's a dictator, and he's not talking about human rights and UN resolutions, and next thing he do, start a war with out approval of UN. that's what bush did.
i believe us govenment is a hypcrait

about the italian journalist, the were no cross fire. it was clear shot for italian convoy, and not a friendly fire.

that weak erxcuse for the war about weapon of mass destruction which appear to be a mere cheap lie .
if US is so interested in "human rights and freedom, and wmd free world" why not starting with its own waepons and nuclear bombs, every body still remember hiroshima and nagazaki.

why supplying israeli troops with those weapons as they use them to kill palestinian kids?
for god's sake they US supply "khmere rouge " in kambudia" , they killed more than 2 millions of theier own ppl thanks to US help, and that was admitted by US defense ministry to ABC news, so u can't deny it.

Hey, I thought the UN was with him... :? What the....? What about England and other countries that were behind his a$$??? Just standing in the background for a group picture?
And you think it's okay that Iraqi people got killed or burried alive days after days under Saddam's government? Just because you know, he knows, we know, everyone knows makes it okay for someone to murder his own citizens? What have they ever done to him? Robbed him blind? Killed his mother? Or what?
sallak wrote: every body still remember hiroshima and nagazaki.
Yes, everyone does, but just think what if those bombs didn't drop, how many more would be killed by the Japanese? I believe if you did a calculation, you would know Japanese had killed way more people during WWI and II than those two bombs combined. So your point with the bombs is.....??? :?

It doesn't matter who starts wars, or who finishes it. War is not a good thing; everyone gets hurt.

The problem is that decisions like this are taken by politicians; the majority of people in every country don't agree; but the politicians do it anyway.

One day there will be peace on earth, i really believe this! I do believe that there is alot of good in people.

But they seems not the human ,they look so strange, freak cos the poison USA left in Vietnam which we call CHAT DOC MAU DA CAM
It destroyed million ha of forest, and ppl........
Who can understand that hurt?
And now war is still , and Bush is still...........
Where do you get your information from? You live in a tightly controlled country. How do you know what you are told on your news is true or what you are taught at school is true?
You have no reason to dislike USA. American soldiers risked their lives to help your people. 58,000 were killed and many thousands more were maimed. And also thousands of soldiers from the other Western nations under the UN, who fought for South Vietnam democracy were killed and injured. Perhaps you are unaware of this because of your form of government.

This is an example.
PLEIKU - For a second day Friday, Vietnamese officials prevented foreign journalists from meeting with members of ethnic minority groups in the Central Highland region who participated in several days of rare violent protests last month. The government's strong reaction to the protests, which have been condemned almost daily in the official press, illustrates the sharp limits on dissent in Vietnam's tightly controlled society. Protests, especially ones challenging government authority, are highly unusual.

Truth is all the things i see everyday.
Truth is that Dyoxin poison .

"You have no reason to dislike USA. American soldiers risked their lives to help your people."
Who told u that i dont like USA, and American?
Read again all the things i typed, i only mention Bush and President who...........Read again
"And also thousands of soldiers from the other Western nations under the UN, who fought for South Vietnam democracy were killed and injured"
So as you , if USA soldiers fought Vietnamese my ppl shouldnt have done anything?
We have to sacrifice to protect our country .
And USA, what did they want to protect?
Now time passes by and i know .
The mistake as i told, doesnt belong to any soldiers, cos they only did as the goverment led.
That 's all.

Can u share with us , with poor Vietnamese are hurting????????????
It doesn't matter who starts wars, or who finishes it. War is not a good thing; everyone gets hurt.

The problem is that decisions like this are taken by politicians; the majority of people in every country don't agree; but the politicians do it anyway.

One day there will be peace on earth, i really believe this! I do believe that there is alot of good in people.
Yeah , i hope so , i hope there's no war .
Everybody will live in peace.
Thanks for ur opinion.
Forever roses in Vietnam and the world..........

USA soldiers fought alongside the Vietnamese people as friends. They were not enemies. They were asked for help by the Vietnamese to help them fight against northern communist invaders.

You say that you do not like Bush because of USA in Vietnam. You don't make any sense! You still did not say how you get reliable news and infomation. Your news and media are controlled by your government.

You say Vietnamese are friendly and have had peace for 30 years. These are lies. There have been sightings of American and Australian soldiers still being held in Vietnam as prisoners of war. This means you are still at war for these prisoners. Why have these men been kept as prisoners and slaves? This tells us that your government has serious problems. I have already posted a link to a news article that shows that your press and media are not free but controlled by your government , to which you did not respond.

You should clean up your own government's problems BEFORE you talk about Bush.

I understand your opinion but i think your reaction is really inappropriate. None of this is a laughing matter. I'm glad that you are a happy person, but you need to keep some perspective in such a serious forum, as it could be taken the wrong way. :idea:

The other thing is that I'm not in favour of the war in Iraq by any means; but i'm sick and tired of the US being blamed for every single problem that has happened in the World. :roll:
