RE: American Bashing!
If you have read your history, you would know that european nations and most notably Russia and France suffered more than anyone else.
This is what I was trying to say the whole time. 9-11, how bad it may look, is peanuts compared to what European nations have gone through. The US is a very young nation, and still has to learn a lot. Sometimes, it would be better to listen to the ‘wise men’ who say you’d better stay out of someone other’s business. The US sees itself as judge, jury, prosecuter and executioner who decides who is evil and who’s not. People are not bashing the US because they hate the US, but if it goes on like this, more and more will see the US as the big satan.
A strong europe was extremely important given the fact that 90% of your world trade was with european nations.
For the US, Europe has always been America’s backyard. Like I said, it was not generousity that caused the Marshall plan. A strong Europe was necessairy for trading relations and most important of all, to form a bloc against the evil communism.
It is not a claim. It is a fact.
And not only in the ME, but also in Venezuela … Only a couple of months ago, the CIA supported a ‘coup d’etat’ against the democratically elected president Hugo Chavez. It’s likely he’ll become the next Castro, a new ‘evil’.
All these people were created by the OSS and the CIA with the primary task of guarding their interests. When they didn’t tow the line, they were branded as dictators and ousted. Untill then they were the bastion of democracy and voice of freedom.
True, the US should stop supporting regimes which are more evil than the ones who are member of the famous “axis-of-evil” organisation.
