When did US citizens become such cowards?

[Dozyproductions]

Yeah Yeah blah blah blah.

What we have done in theses respects in the last 40 years is not something I would fully endorse. One could argue necessity, on could argue isolationism as well. But you end going no where and in a big circle right back to where you started, I have been down that road.

The point is after WWII we were what was left, with our untouched manufacturing capability and prowess left intactded (sp??) along with lots of state of the art hardware and guys to use it. The world by then had become accustomed to the USA coming to the rescue when the chips were down. Also after WWII, the Chinese civil war broke out. The PRC which we know as China today under the leadership of Chairman Mao, and on his orders butchered 70m of its own citizens to retain power and instill fear that reigns to this day, yeah I would say thats evil. Modern day Taiwan (aka Republic of China) was and has remained a free state (again no thanks to us). The Civil war has never been formally ended either.

From then on it has done nothing but balloon and spiral down the shitter. I dont really like the fact that we are expected to quell all the uprisings all over the world, I dont like the fact that anytime mother nature kicks a 3rd world nation in groin we are expected to give out billions in aid in both cash and supplies, just because we can, and because we always have. We cant afford this shit anymore

Like it or not the rest of the world would not be where any of of us are with out the USA. Lots of things I dont agree with, and how things have been conducted with a hammer rather than a feather duster, but the fact still remains if we dont do the jobs that no one else wants to, then who will....................

the moral of the story is .... dont bitch about the mashed potatoes at hunting camp unless you are gonna start doing all the cooking yourself.

I think you're still going around in this 'circle'. How can you not like the world supposedly depending on us when you also believe that there has to be some one to do the 'dirty work'?

I'm fully aware of what happened in WWII and China but even what you described is an over simplified version of a certain point of view. From what you're saying it seems like the USA has been a major enabler of these certain problems because of the kind of attitude from your post.

But all of this is immaterial when you start really understand that the United States is a business that gives its returns, not to public, but to the people who influence the law and our policies. In WWII the same institutions were funding both sides of the war. Just a mere example that underlines the fact that conflict and fear are the things that keep producing the opportunity to make money. That includes our war on terror/drugs/and most other things that we are taught to be from the devil.

Our real enemies have been directly undermining the public and its voice for over the last 100+ years. All this other shit (metaphor warning) is just like MTV's Real World. All the conflict in that show is provoked by the network. People deplore the humanity of the participants in that shit show instead of the god damn mother fucking network who pulls the strings to make it all happen in the first place.
