History is written by the winners.
If we let China win, then Tibet will have always been part of China as they say.
Sure, just ask the native Americans. They'll surely agree on that.
I guess we lost our guts and our heads after the war protesters defeated the US during the Vietnam war.
Sure, the same guts you're spilling in Abu Gharib?
If China can go around taking over nations, why can't we?
Historically, the land you're living on is not yours. So, you already did take over -not just a nation- but almost the entire continent. The troops you have all over the world are in other peoples territories as well.
But first we have to expand into Canada and Mexico to get the resources necessary to take *back* Brazil.
But surely you'll first finish what you've started and deplete Iraq first?
Just like the tortures in Abu Gharib where just one big misunderstanding? Hey, Rumsfeld politely apologised for it! What else can you expect! It's not like he's going to get prosecuted or anything.
When Sadam's goverment was responsible for torture, they used economic sanctions to cripple the country, then the country was bombed to pieces.
Now, the U.S. goverment goes to war and tortures people,... and we get a polite apology...
I'm awaiting Bin Laden to sent his apologies about 9/11...
The US is behind the powercurve then. There's a whole lotta world out there that hasn't been bombed yet. Better speed things up.
I'm pretty sure, we'll see alot more havoc in the near future.
Besides, his president managed to destroy two entire countries without support of the U.N., support the Turkish occupation of Cyprus, support Israels terror in the occupied territories,
have his troops torture POW,...
... and still in recent polls he gets more then 40 percent of the votes... That's sickening... because it means the U.S. population seems to support that appalling behavior.
So, maybe he'll be re-elected, and we'll see more of that barbaric behavior.
And the same is happening here in Europe, where Blair against the will of the U.K. people decided to follow Bush into war. The same with the Spanish goverment. And, Bush, hypocrite as he is, is going to war to fight for democracy, while he's applauding Blairs behavior (being undemocratic).
Besides their neighbouring countries, I can't recall any conflict between the Chinese and any other country. And about the neighbouring countries, that happens all over the world.
If you compare that to the U.S. behavior in regards to Vietnam, Palestine (indirectly by helping Israel), Afghanistan, Iraq and as said the socalled axis of evil Libya and Syria and probably some other countries.
The U.S. president said: You're either against terror or with terror. With which he actually meant: You're either on our side and will do what we tell you to do, or you're considered a country sponsoring terror so you'll have to bare the consequences.
Actually, I found it particullary interesting, that when a U.S. spy was caught in China, the U.S.
demanded the spy back. When the U.S. caught a spy, they wanted to give him the death penalty.
So, in conclusion, I think most of the world fears the U.S. hunger for power more then China, Iraq or Afghanistan.
