  1. While you are ranting on we Americans with your first grade level of spelling, lets not forget how many countries come crying to the U.S. government for help whether it be money or something else. Do you even know how many countries OWE us money? Do we ever get any thank yous for bailing other countries out of trouble. h**l NO!!!!!!!


  2. Hey, "Abdul" (you tool)

    Give it up

  3. Abdul, You are obviously talking, and rather badly at that, out of your posterior. World history shows just the opposite.

    Please no  illiterate propaganda

  4. Unless you are a minority from another country you do not understand what the  american government is like.  shirley beleives that other countries owe us lots of money for the bail outs and other types of help the American government gives to poor countries.  America is broke.  the American government borrows billions of dollars from countries like Japan, the US dollar is worth less than the Canadian dollar right now.

    I am a US citizen not an american, but Hawaiian.  I hate to say this, but white America is just that white, and the majority of them believe that they are the master race and every one else is less than them.  White American are always trying to run every thing, change the way other live to suit them, I will give you all an example.

    In hawaii fire works are a part of who we are, it is a cultral thing brought to hawaii by chinese imagrints in the1700's and incorparated into the Hawaiian life style, twenty years ago or so many older whites of finacial influence came to Hawaii because the air was cleaner, the waters were cleaner living was cleaner, but twice a year the air was polluted with fire cracker smoke and red paper on the grounds.  The rich white people from the mainland told the politicians that they could not breath on these two days out of 365 days of a year, compared to not being able to breath all most all year around in some US cities.  Two days, they were able to get a law past minimizing the use of fire works in Hawaii now.  the whites buy up all the beach front properties because they keep driving up prices the average person can not afford the home properties, and then they block the beach access from evey one except for whom they want to let in.  

    Are the american always trying to take control? yes, they are but the only thing they bring to the dinner table so-to-speak is mayhem and chaos, technology is bought in by every one else and perfected by foreign scientist working for the US companies, but I am still glad to be a US citizen and I will defend its flag to the death.

    Sorry so long, but that is the history the way I know it to be.

    Happy Holidays,....cya....

  5. You clearly have no understanding of reality or history.

  6. What about England, Spain, the Romans, Portugal, WWII with Germany, Italy, and Japan.  Do I need to go on?

  7. Americans had atrocities and intervened in the internal affairs of the Philippines, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan and next target will be Iraq.

  8. INTERVENTION FOR DEMOCRACY?

    During the 1980s proponents of intervention supplemented security arguments with claims that American interventions promote democracy. This argument fails on both logical and historical grounds.

    Deductive logic indicates that the United States lacks the means to implant democracy by intervention. Democracy requires suitable social and economic preconditions: a fairly equal distribution of land, wealth, and income; high levels of literacy and economic development; cultural norms conducive to democracy, including traditions of tolerance, free speech, and due process of law; and few deep ethnic divisions. Most of the Third World lacks democracy because these preconditions are missing. Moreover, it would require vast social engineering, involving long and costly post-intervention American occupations, to introduce them. American taxpayers clearly would not support extravagant projects of this sort.

    The historical record shows that past U.S. interventions have generally failed to bolster democracy. These interventions have more often left dictatorship than democracy in their wake. Moreover, Washington has often subverted elected governments that opposed its policies, and many U.S.-supported "democratic" governments.

    and movements were not at all democratic. Overall, this record suggests that the U.S. lacks the will and the ability to foster democracy.

    The legacy of American interventions and occupations is not wholly undemocratic: Germany, Japan, Italy, Austria, and Grenada are significant exceptions. But these were easy cases, since each country had some previous experience with democracy, and all but Grenada were economically developed. Elsewhere the American record is bleak.

    The U.S. governed Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic in a generally undemocratic fashion during the intermittent occupations in the period 1898-1934, and then allowed brutal dictators to seize power after it left. South Korea has seen far more dictatorship than democracy since American forces arrived in 1945. Following the era of U.S. colonial rule (1899-1946) the Philippines experienced a corrupt and violent perversion of democracy and a long period of repression under Ferdinand Marcos's U.S.-supported dictatorship. Even in the post-Marcos era, violence has marred Philippine elections and the threat of a military coup has hung over the elected government. Iran and Guatemala have been ruled by cruel dictatorships ever since the CIA-sponsored coups of 1953 and 1954. Chile is only now emerging from years of harsh military dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet, who was installed by a U.S.supported coup in 1973.

    Some would argue that the United States brought democracy to Panama in 1989 and Nicaragua in 1990, but the U.S. deserves less credit than appearance suggests. The legacy of the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama is still uncertain. The Bush administration's invasion deposed dictator Manuel Noriega and installed an elected government in his place. However, the administration also installed a sinister Noriega henchman, Col. Eduardo Herrera Hassan, as the commander of the new Public Force (PF), the successor to Noriega's corrupt Panamanian Defense Forces (PDF). Herrera staffed the PF almost exclusively with former PDF members, raising the risk that corrupt military cliques will continue to dominate the country's politics. Moreover, by invading, the United States merely sought to undo a mess of its own making. The U.S. created and trained the PDF; then, in 1968, the PDF destroyed Panamanian democracy, installing a junta that later gave rise to the Noriega dictatorship. Overall, U.S. policy toward Panama has not fostered democracy.

    The 1990 Nicaraguan elections have apparently put Nicaragua on the road to democracy for the first time in its history. The U.S.-sponsored contra war and U.S. economic sanctions contributed by pressuring the Sandinistas to hold earlier and freer elections than they otherwise would have. However, the social conditions required for democracy were created by the Sandinista revolution, over American opposition. In 1979, when the Sandinistas took power, 50 percent of the adult population of Nicaragua was illiterate; land ownership was very mal-distributed (5 percent of the rural population owned 85 percent of the farmland, while 37 percent of the rural population was landless); and the country was terrorized by the Sornoza dictatorship's brutal National Guard. The Sandinistas reduced adult illiteracy to 13 percent, redistributed the land, and disbanded the National Guard.

    Had the United States gotten its way, these changes never would have happened. As the Somoza regime crumbled in 1979, the Carter administration tried to forestall a Sandinista victory by replacing Somoza while preserving his National Guard in power. A Guard-dominated regime surely would have left intact the old oligarchic social and political order-an order in which widespread coercion, voter ignorance, and vote fraud made elections meaningless.

    The United States also deserves poor reviews for its role in arranging the 1990 Nicaraguan elections. The Reagan administration preferred a military victory to any compromise solution, including one providing for elections. It therefore disrupted the 1984 Nicaraguan elections by persuading the opposition not to run. It also resisted the peace plan proposed by Costa Rican president Oscar Arias in 1987, which launched the process that led to the 1990 elections. This resistance ended only when the Bush administration took office. In short, the impetus for the Nicaraguan election process came from Central America against U.S. opposition, while the conditions for democracy were established by a social revolution that the U.S. sought to prevent. Hence U.S. claims of authorship for Nicaraguan democracy ring hollow.

    The undemocratic effects of American policies result partly from their pronounced bias in favor of elites. The Carter administration's support for the Nicaraguan oligarchy was not unique; in many other Third World countries American policy has bolstered the power of local anti-democratic upperclass elements, who then blocked the social leveling that democratization requires. In South Korea, U.S. policies favored the rightist elite from the early days of the postwar occupation. In the Philippines the U.S. aligned itself with the upper class ilustrado elite after seizing the islands in 1898-99, and again when it recovered the Philippines from Japan in 1944-45. In Guatemala the CIA-sponsored Castillo Armas government (1954-1957) repealed universal suffrage and dispossessed peasant beneficiaries of earlier land reforms, leaving Guatemala among the most stratified societies in the world. Throughout Latin America the Alliance for Progress, founded partly to promote social equality, was co-opted by oligarchic governments that ran it for the benefit of wealthy elites. As a result, the Alliance in fact increased social stratification.In short, American leaders have favored democracy only when it produced governments that supported American policies. Otherwise they have sought to subvert democracy.

  9. read your history books again, we would still be all by ourselves minding our own buisness if everyone else would have left us alone.

  10. Yes USA Government is the biggest reason for problems everywhere you pay money for other countries to grant that they will follow your orders and all the money you pay is in privet accounts in Switzerland under the name of MUBARK of EGYPT and KING of JORDAN etc....I do not think you are blind but I think you like to believe that you are good okay you are good but not for us you do not heir Americans whom saying we have to keep our force in IRAQ because of Oil you do not care if Iraq would be destroyed but you care of Oil and everyone of you will find gas for his car there is no different between USA administration and Hitler you are the same, and I'd like to heir from any of you about black water security company and your dirty solders in Abou Grieb prison do you think we forget what you did there no we will never forget that and the days is like that one for you and the next against you but do not be worry we will never do the same because we are More human than you, no one will call you the son of uncle Sam but we will call you sons of Guantanamo and Abou Grieb prisons

  11. Sounds like you have been the victim of propaganda. It appears to have been very effective.

  12. The problem is any time there is a problem anywhere in the world, the first that come to help is America. Whether it is a civil war, or somebody killing millions of people, a tsusami, hurricane or famine.....America is always there to help. The American citizens pay for this generosity so it really pisses me off when someone like you asks a question like this.

  13. Do you mean HISTORY?
