wstera, I think t2 hit it right on the nose with his "video game" analogy. Unlike previous wars where you had some casualties on both sides, this war IS like a "video game". Considering the carnage that we have left behind, we hardly had any casualties while friendly fire and innocent civilians killed are in the thousands, And as in a video game we just keep blowing pawns without a care in the sky. Simply amazing. I can try and put my self in any of the scores of people who have nothing to do with the Taliban and Al-Qaida that have lost whole families, loved ones and children, and I can see why people hate Americans. Have we become so arrogant as to not value anything else but our own greed, corrupt, criminal and fraudulent (as has been proven in recent weeks and months with Enron, Worldcom, Global Crossing, Xerox, Tyco, Imclone, etc... etc...) way of life? The Americans I know are decent, compassionate good people. Currently this country is without a "soul" leader... and that's a sure way to disaster IMO.
JMHO. |
