And then this and this if you want to see another point of view about "journalism" and "human rights" organizations (funded by mass-media and the U.S. govt., probably).
It's not like they are angels or something...
And btw, from here:

Also, you CAN have freedom and food at the same time. It happens.

I said No food => No freedom , you said freedom & food.
These are two different statements, and it looks like you didn't even understand what I said.

Oh you mean "patented" medicines? Where they patented the process to make the drug because the government wouldn't grant a monopoly on a chemical?

Even though those clone (counterfeit is misleading) medicines contain identical chemicals and work identically well?

Pharmaceutical companies are the biggest scum of the earth. If jacking the price on a medication that people need to live isn't profiteering I don't know what is. Why governments continue to allow this boggles my mind. Actually Brazilian government were about to put a stop to it but Abbott Laboratories caved.

Two more VERY good reasons not to use ethanol:

1. Already the price of corn has risen. The result? Millions of people are starving because they can't find food
Maize Deception

2. If all cars ran on ethanol in the US, most of the US would have to produce corn.

3.Getting ethanol does not create a net gain of usable energy
Loss of energy

there's plenty of democracy and freedom in the world that is not a result of American military aggression.

And plenty of democracy and freedom in the world despite American intervention. And even more that didn't survive 'the advancement of democracy and freedom' via Military Advisor. Chile, 1973, for example? Or Nicaragua, 1984?

and now im getting sick of you.
didnt you read the post ? i already made my point by noting that if the US congressmen were really thinking about iraqi peoples future they would have chosen GSM over CDMA, but instead they take their decisions based on profit.

so yes, the american government (or 1/3 of it as you naively put it) is in for the money.

look, if you cant see that the actions of your government through history have nothing to do with "liberation" and everything to do with profiting then you must be really blind.

or really patriotic (orwellian style).

i come from south america and ive seen lots of this things happening. and i know from experience what im talking about. whenever the US government gets into "helping out" some south american country it means fucking the people there and getting away with as much as they can in their wallets
of course its not like they get into that countries national reserve and start filling their pockets... its more like setting up a friendly "representative democracy" - or if that fails, a "moderately repressive regime" - and tell them to start signing out contracts for US corporations to start exploiting its oil, gold, silver, etc. etc.

and that of course with very low to none at all taxes.

here is a list if you care to see of _some_ of the things US government has done "in the name of freedom".
yeah, in the name of their freedom to profit

Oh, come on. The USA has been known to *EXECUTE* foreigners without letting them consult with their consulate, in violation of the Vienna Convention, and you're shocked the media isn't covering someone who's been in jail for two weeks?
