you get outraged when people attack you, yet you believe that if your viewpoint is superior (something which not everyone on the web would agree to) then you've proved someone ignorant, and hence have the right to call them that, NAH.
We all have opinions, Darren, and you seem to disagree on many issues. Surprisingly, you and I cannot even see eye to eye, yet I hope I haven't called you any names. I'm glad you post, even though I don't agree with hardly anything you write. It allows me to see what the US is up against in the court of world opinion. I don't view you as speaking for that world opinion, but it gives me an idea of what is out their in the jury pool.
I still do not believe that the Europeans ought to be judging the US on our treatment of others, just because it hurts your sensitivities.
While you decry my lack of sensativity to the terrible plight of those poor helpless allegedly former inhabitants of Jewish sovereign territory, I don't see where the Europeans have been as upstandingly in favor of other downtrodden people.
Where was the European efforts in the world. What did those Belgium's do to save thousands in Rwanda? Where were the Dutch in Bosnia? Where were the Europeans in protecting Somalia from collapse? How are they acting to stabilize Zimbabwe? What are the Europeans doing to stop North Korea? What did your group of nations do to save Kosovars? (Or Serbs in Kosovo today?) It seems like ethnic cleansing against anyone other than the alleged former inhabitants of Jewish sovereign land is OK, but these rarified 'martyrs' are special. Well I would hope that the kind of objectivity that Europe showed at Bosnia you would show in the middle east. Just look the other way, that is the one consistent European objective method of action. |
