This is a very interesting statement. I would like to understand what you are saying here? Do you really believe that liberating an oppressed people is "nation- building"? What is your definition? How is what Bush is doing different than what the US has done historically? You seem to be pointing to Bush as unique in his actions.heyjoeo said:American Tyranny that he is referring to has to do with the "nation-building" techniques that the Bush Administration has been doing in Iraq. They see it as invasion, which it is, and an attempt to spread the Western Ideals and "Civilization" into their lands. That's mainly why they hate us so much.
Iran and Saudi Arabia were not in violation of the 1992 Peace accord signed after the first Gulf War... Iraq was. Iran and Saudi Arabia were not in violation of 17 UN mandates... Iraq was. Iran and Saudi Arabia did not shoot at US aircraft over 200 times...Iraq did. And most importantly... Iran and Saudi Arabia have shown a willing ness in the resent-past to present themselves to the world community as a nation willing to work with other nations to solve problems... Iraq had not.heyjoeo said:"President Hussein." Now that's funny. Why would you invade Iraq though, when you could have just invaded Iran or Saudi Arabia? We all know why. Iran has nuclear weapons (or at least has gotten caught with centerfuge information twice if i remember in the past couple months), and Saudi Arabia continuously funds American business ventures, even though they harbor terrorists (where is the Bush doctrine now?). Oh well.
We are establishing a democracy - if they do not want it anymore ... then they will get rid of it. Wanna bet they keep it?heyjoeo said:Nation-Building is the process where a major power goes out and shapes another countries' government the way they see fit.
Wow good point. That is kind of scary.bfeverish said:It is not natural to hate. Hate is not something that one is born with it is something learned and developed. Therefor it is absolutely necessary to understand where hate comes from.
Read it from the horses mouth. Read Bin Ladens latest transcript.

Selfish American interventionism and our blind support for Israel is the root of this hatred.
Ultimately though what is most frightening to me is the idea of two fundamentalist going head to head. Both believing that god is on their side.
