"if i was brave enough , i swear to God i'd go and kill that asshole of Bush , even if i have to get the death sentence or spend the rest of my life in jail , the whole world is gonna be thankful to me , even the europeans and all the third world countries will try to reduce my sentence".
and i'm damn serious , too bad i don't have the guts to do it  i hope someone else will do that for all of us |
actually, you won't get the death sentence because you can claim insanity. you can say bush's prolonged bombings against all the innocent afghans made you wig out, you lost all sense of right and wrong, went out, bought a gun (waited the 30 days for it) tracked down george, and emptied the whole clip on him, his wife, his bodyguards etc,... and you know what? you may actually get off. of course it also means that you'll be spending the rest of you life in a mental institution. but it is perfectly within your right in this country. it's one of the freedoms you have. f**ked up? depends on your point of view. but that's what america is about. as f**ked up as it is and as ideally impossible the system is, for people in the outside world, who have no voice, and don't enjoy the things in life that we take for granted, this place is a dream.
personally i think george is an idiot. everytime i see him on the news giving some speech, i cross my fingers and pray for "him" that he doesn't deviate from what his writers gave him. because he always makes up some word that is not in the dictionary. but he is the elected (unpopularly) president, and surrounded by competent people, they won't let him screw up. freedom of speech; you can hate the man in office, disagree with his policies, and can voice your opinion about it, even right to his face even though he may be the most powerful man in the world.
let me ask those of you who are angry about the fact that the u.s. is still bombing afghanistan: how would you react if say next week the u.s. bombs iraq and assassinates saddam hussein? then the week after bombs yemen, then parts of indonesia, ireland, the gaza strip(won't happen) ...? you'd all probably say "who made you god? what gives you the right to bomb anyone at your discretion?"
let me ask you guys another question. do you think what happened on 9/11 would have happend if another country other than the u.s was in power? if say the uk, holland, germany, brazil, or (insert your country here) was the world's superpower, do you think what happened could have happened to you instead? is there another country willing to take this position? be the voice and figurehead for democracy and justice? go around the play yard and see that everyone play nice. lead by example, and show the world your thriving economy (even though your on the brink of a recession), show that this is a wonderful country to live in (nevermind the homeless, the poverty, the hungry, the unfair justice system, the crime rate, screwed up health care, social, and educational systems)the biased taxation. oh and the political system?? 
yeah it's true most americans need to get their head out of the sand and realize that yes it can happen here, and that global actions can have consequences and ramifications here. but then there are some here that already know that 9/11 was a long time in coming. but then those of you in other countries need to understand also that if not the u.s. then it could have been any one of you. excuse us for taking a stand on what we believe in and are willing to defend our ideals along with those of our neighbors. 9/11 caused the u.s. not to start a war with afghanistan, but against terrorism. all the facts pointed to the terrorists hiding out in afghanistan. the u.s. asked the afghan government to hand over the al-quaeda, but the taliban played dumb, and said they don't exist. then they said prove beyond all reasonable doubt that they were responsible. the u.s. got fed up with the games and pretty much said in 48 hours, we're gonna bomb the hideouts and anyone connected with them. then the taliban said let's negotiate. too late.
did you guys think it was all gonna end with the al-quaeda and the taliban in afghanistan? this war isn't just against the muslims. it's against all terrorists EVERYWHERE. afghanistan was payback for 9/11, but it's just the start.
those of you cussing out america have every right. it's one of the freedoms you get to enjoy at the expense of others blood, sweat, and tears. there are people who don't have the same luxuries. whose governments clamp down on any form of dissent. and sees the u.s. and it's allies as a threat to their society, and existence. look at what happened in china -tianenmen(?) massacre- as an example.
yes it is tragic that innocent civilians are getting killed, but like it or not, and only history will tell if this was the right way to go, but in the long run, this is for everybody.
imho
