Thread: Is America really what the world says it is?

Over the past four years protestors gather in largest groups in human history. In Europe they are protesting against the war in Iraq. People accuse the United States of being imperialist, and being war fanatics.
It is time for America set it straight to the world. The word imperialism dates all the way back to Roman era. It was used for the title of the emperor, meaning conqurer of territory. That begs the question. Has the United States declaired that Iraq is now a territory of the United States. We are also not war fanatics, but we take what ever neccesary action to root out the enemy.
The world needs to get a reality grip. We did not declair a war against the muslims. We declaired war against the terrorist. the muslims continue to attack cristian minorities in the mid-east. It is hypocrytical to say that the west is being discriminatory, when the same people who claim goes and singles out one group of people. As for Europe your culture is widely known for imperialism. Those who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones.

On a social/economic basis this war has increased Iraqi dependancy on America and made them all but a territory in name.

American economic dominance is hardly surprising they treated the peoples of Europe as an economic basis for easy exploitation (world war two - The Marshall Plan).

We are also not war fanatics, but we take what ever neccesary action to root out the enemy.

Perhaps you should make that known to your President who stated that he would bomb or invade pakistan to get Bin Laden even if it was against the wishes of the Pakistani people and their government.

The world needs to get a reality grip. We did not declair a war against the muslims. We declaired war against the terrorist.

Putting aside that Iraq made no major contributions to terrorism prior to invasion

The Muslims just got in your way right? Bombing hospitals and schools were in their own best interests.

the muslims continue to attack cristian minorities in the mid-east. It is hypocrytical to say that the west is being discriminatory, when the same people who claim goes and singles out one group of people.

And?

Christians wiped out millions of ethnic people's throughout the ages it is rather hypocritical to point out the faults of others while ignoring your own history.

As for Europe your culture has been widely known for imperialism.

That's the first correct statement you have made so far with a few revisions.

Those who live in glass houses shouldnt throw stones.

That is very sound advice and worth listening to.

Its part of the dialectic for the world to move us towards world government, we are being set up by the powers that run us. We have lost our government, our leaders don't work for us, the constitution isn't being enforced...and we are just being used as strawman for the Elites...who do run us.

The whole idea is to move the world into socialism...and make us accept it as an answer to the worlds woes. But the people promoting this global socialist world are the very ones who are causing all the trouble. Teaching the world to hate us, and telling the american we are fighting for freedom...its all a sick and evil game.

What is dialectic?

Christ Robodoon. Everybody knows that. I guess next you'll tell us that the sky is blue.

I do not see how this Socratic meaning could be used in the Robodoon’s sentence. I rather expected a Hegelian side of dialectic from him, but again, utilization was wrong. I do not think he just used a word he is not used to use. So, I am lost.

An Arguement, in this case a controlled one as in the Hegelian dialectic.

Not everyone does. I get very tired of people who have the inside skinny acting like everyone one knows. Many people do not know and do not understand.

I repeat for a reason, because the world is a big place...
