Mandela: U.S. wants holocaust

And about money aid, do you really think 22million in one year (in 2002 according to that page) is too much?

No. It's a drop in the bucket. That said, we aren't required by our Constitution to help your country. There are no International Mandates staing we either share or perish. We are a kind & just nation. Get off our back.


Sqiggy. ya weenie :D
 
Some places probably would have been better off without us ... but I dare say that the good outwieghs the bad by a fair margin.
 
Luis, the US has given Mexico Billions in the last fifty years including disaster relief and much of it has been forgiven which by the way the US makes a habit of doing for many nations. So why would you scoff at such a thing? Do you think our money grows on trees? Ever heard of gratitude?
 
I'd like to know how much we've forgiven.
Do other nations forgive our debt? No. So we have to depend on people like Ted Turner to watch our back. If that's not a sad state of affairs i don't know what is.

When we don't have people like Ted Turner to watch our backs....
 
Look.. Ted is diefied third in this state just under Jaysus and MLK Jr ... highly regarded.. and about as quirky as they come. Hes a real charismatic character with some quirky visions... but I wouldn't trust him to make a half decent cup of coffee let alone 'watch our backs'.

gonz and hex, I know we get the money from the IMF, in which the US is one of the biggest (or the biggest) contributor. I'm sure that many debts have been forgiven in the past, i do appreciate it.

unc, we all know that Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened because of the "higher good" intentions :rolleyes:

Shouldn't have happened

I sincerelly hope that won't be said in the future, about this coming war with Irak. Time will tell.
 
Whatever you feel about it, it was an act directed at 2 small cities which could have just as easily been cities that had millions of inhabitants that took place 58 years ago. If you wish to do comparitive national artocities spanning the last 60+ years, the US doesn't even come close to the top 20. Do you have anything from our generation to speak of?
 
No, and i hope i don't have anything to bitch about in the near future.
 
Fine .. I'll give you one then. We were arming Iraq in the midst of the fighting Iran just because it made the region a bloodbath stalemate. Keeping a known whack job like Saddam in power at the cost of a few 100,000 lives was much better solution because Iran was a pack of wild dog zealot 12th century dictatorial muslims that would have cut off the oil from all of the worlds major powers. Iraq and the Saudis offered up sweet deals if we would do our thing. That was about 20 years ago. ...pretty much right at the cusp of the modern era.
 
We made a lot of those mistakes. Another was letting governments like Afghanistan where terrorists were free if not encouraged to blossem, come into existance. We won't make anymore of those mistakes.
 
I thought the Germans made the super gun .. heck.. some German citizens were just convicted of it. ... or was that the gun after the war?
 
I'm not clear on the details, but there were some strings pulled to cover up the point of origin for the guns 'sections' which apparently came from the US...

private companies or the feds ... or the shadow arm of the feds?

I believe it was done in the shadows after attempts to stop the gun's American designer failed
