Why are Americans walking the "walk of shame"?

Question

Is it over Iraq? Lack of action in Georgia against Russia?

Answer 1

Russia's actions weren't unprovoked. If Georgia expected our help, then they shouldn't have been the aggressors in Ossetia, or asked beforehand whether we would be willing to provide military aid if they attacked South Ossetia.

As it is, mindlessly going to war over conflicts that your ally provoked is what leads to world wars. What we can do is put political pressure to Russia to settle the conflict and provide non-military aid to the country of Georgia and convince both countries to sit down at the bargaining table.

For us to engage in war over this right now would end in tragedy on epic proportions and would severely hurt our country. If there is peaceful way to resolve this conflict, why shouldn't we pursue that first? Do you really base your manhood on how much destruction the US sows through warfare? If so, I really feel sorry for you.

Answer 2

Its another sign of the agony of Capitalism, and USA is epicenter of the world crisis.

Even in US backyard Latams are pissing on US Imperialism, all that rants against Evo Morales and Hugo Chavez ... and they are stronger than ever...

Evo Morales, the "ignorant" Indian ...

Answer 3

Russia and georgia have a cease-fire that they both just agreed to.   Im sorry that we didnt retaliate by bombing russia.  Im sorry that we actually used diplomacy for once, and it worked.  I was against the war in iraq at the start and im still against it, but actually, the violence in iraq has almost completely stopped.  Frankly, i dont know what you are talking about.  America did just fine in both the russia-georgia conflict, and iraq.  guess the jokes on you.

Answer 4

Walk of shame? Not this American, I will always be proud to be an American. How come people in other country's care how America is, instead of their own country.

Answer 5

I find no shame when our enemies are not pleased with the USA.  In fact, I relish it.

Answer 6

Walk away.  You're actions only reflect on your internal shame.  I for one will continue to walk with my head high, a whistle on my lips, and bounce in my step for I am an American Soldier with great pride in what we do.

Answer 7

americans are a bunch of n**i fascists!

Answer 8

We are a greedy, feeble minded people...

Answer 9

Speak for yourself...I have no problem walking at all. And while I'm not saying this country has always done everything according to the straight and narrow...I'll still put it up against any other country...I can name countries that, right now would have you picked up and questioned or worse, for the simple question you just asked, were you to ask it about their country!...Of course, maybe I've been around longer and seen more things,and been a few more places and been in a war that makes recent ones look like a playground squabble... That's probibily why the more I talk to people under the age of 30...the more I like my dog!  Personally I didn't fight a tyrant  so I could hold my head in shame...I fought a tyrant(and won) so YOU could hold your head in shame if you see fit.   Peace!

Answer 10

We are not going to attack Russia because we don't want to start WW3. The same as when Russia backed down during the Cuban missile crisis. Both sides know that in a nuclear war no one wins.

Answer 11

they're shamed by their selection for president
