Put simply, my post wasn't about the good the U.S. does in the world, but yeah, U.S. foriegn policy is mainly bad, in that it affects more people negatively than it does positively, you still seem to dispute that 9/11 and the unrest in the middle-east is a result and response to U.S. actions, that it simply came out of nowhere, because of Islam people want to kill Americans, and that is the only reason, well it's not and when your system has more victims than beneficiaries it causes hatred, when people see the wealth of their land plundered, see their families killed and bury their children, and when nearly a third of all foriegn aid goes to a sworn enemy and brutaliser of the Arab population, they do not see the great munificence of the United States as you and others do, they see a system designed to prop up the rich and the powerful, this is true in so many ways I can't even go into it, but look at U.S. foriegn policy, don't expect your own press to reflect the views of anyone other than the beneficiaries, so of course America is a force for good, and of course America spreads democracy, and fights despotism, genocide and injustice, it is tireless in these efforts and the enemies of peace are many, but don't worry because we will blow alll those f**kers up!
If you want to talk about the good America does, go talk to someone who benefitted, the Saudi Royal Family, Augustus Pinochet, Saddam Hussein Suharto, Anastasio Samoza and countless other dicators and despots found all over the third world, the U.S. is a nation that places stability above freedom, at least for the poor and under-developed, and if this stability means a dictator who commits mass murder and genocide, enslaves and oppresses his people but most importantly, indeed the only factor in deciding who is 'good' or 'bad', an enemy state or a 'client' state, ensures profits run to the west, and not their own people, then why should the U.S. give a flying f**k. Well, they don't, not at all, and they use the propagandistic media, and entirely servillient intellectual elites to convince you that peace is war, and lies are truth, knowledge is ignorance and freedom is slavery. Orwell would be proud of their progress, or horrified, intensely horrified, can't get to sleep at night horrified, checks under his bed, and constantly on the look out for wire taps and hidden microphones horrified, because one day, if this continues, Orwell, like so many other things in the minitrue, will cease to exist.
