Does America only matter?


Right, Mike hasn't changed me into an Anti American, I like Americans(some of them), but I do have a lot of problems with them. Mainly the way the country is portrayed to the world, it feels like America is the only country that matters. Why do I think this? Well, 9/11 is the main reason. It's been 4 years and there are still people talking about it, like its the worst thing thats ever happened. And there are still TV programmes about it. Go to google, you get 34,300,000 results when you type "9/11." I'm not saying its a bad thing, infact I had the same debate on another forum. It WAS a tragedy, but do they really need to make it seem like its the ONLY tragedy? Do we see the Iraq War as a big tragedy? Do we see wars/battles/terrorisim in other countrys a tragedy? Do people not realise that Americans have been terrorists themselves? You call bombing Iraq(before the war) and killing innocent people right? You call giving Sadam Husain weapons right? Jeez, come on, more people have died elsewhere. Yet this still remains the number 1 tragedy.

Lol I have a feeling that we are in fact on the decline and instead of being the highest world power, we will steadly decline until we are just another country. Also look at the numbers of deaths. In terms of terrorism 9/11 was very high on the list. All the things you have listed so far aren't terroism. Even the worst diasaster the nuclear bombings at Japan aren't considered terrorism. so no we aren't the only country and soon I doubt we will get this much press, but name another attack of terrorism that has claimed so many lives and then I bet there will be as many google listings on that as well!

Ok then, let's try "Battle of Britain" 6,780,000 results? I don't think thats the same, and that might be a bit more casualties, just a very small tad.

And yes what I said is terrorisim, americans have become that which they hate. Terrorists.

Uhm first off. This is a war not terriosim. we are fighting terriorist and innocent lives are always lost in the fighting! I mean come on! I do not support this war! I thnk it is very wrong and should never have even been brought up. I know it is about oil as much as freedom but still It isn't terriorism! and the Battle of Britain I haven't heard about but it sounds like a military operation and not a terriorist act!

Hello? They bombed Iraq before the war, did you read what I said? Plus do they really need to kill all these people in the recent war? SOOO many lives could have been spared, and what are they still doing in Iraq? They don't need to be there do they? What are they doing exactly? I know, they go around abusing and torturing Iraqi's.

Battle of Britain, for your information, is the phrase describing World War 2 when Germany had taken France, and Britain was the last country not to fall to Germany in europe. At that point, the war became defencive until America decided to get off their ass.

Er what ? First off, you cant declare war on "Terrorism", Terrorism is a shock tactic. Second, Who said any Iraqi's were terrorists ? Saddam was (believe it or not) anti-nuclear and when Osama requested help, Saddam was quick to deny him any help, and to tell him to hide somewhere else. While there is the messy situation of him killing his own people, lets not forget that Iraq has 3 major groups, they dont see eye to eye with each other. What Saddam did (as bad as it was)is not terrorism, he was the head of state, if someone attacked HIM, that can be terrorism.

This just proves that you americans dont know what your talking about when using the T word. I dont know any Iraqi terrorists, I know some saudi arabian ones, but none from Iraq.

Also, I must say, that Americans are so bloody poor at bombing the right targets. Al Jazeera (the INTERNATIONAL news channel, NOT limited to Arabic regions and people) got their station hit in Afganistan when the US forces were there, and another of their stations in Iraq during the war. Both times, they had contacted the US on their position, and the US both times SAID that they identified their position and they had NOTHING to worry about. Both stations were hit soon after the US said they wouldnt.

As for firing weapons, I think I'd hire chimps rather than the US, they'd probably be able to identify allies better too. The first 12 British people to die in the Iraq Campain were from accidents or friendly fire by the US. (The first British to die from an Iraqi was after the one month war).
