I have no hate for the people as i dont know many
and am not a bigot
I have respect for parts of the culture
I am a fan of many American thinkers, writers poets and so forth.
so get this notion of me ahting the US out of your head
Don't pass those kind of judgem,ents on me
I refrain from passing them on you.

And these alliances have been for the right reason?
You look into the Iran-Iraq war

You look into Dr Mossadeq's removal and the reason
Nationalization of the countires oil reserves and therefore higher prices for the US.
Look at who they replaced him with and his infamous SAVAK.
Look at the revolution that saved thousands in Iran.
Look into the US' failure to extradite a proven war criminal to Iran where he could be tried.
and the hostage istuation whilst you're there.

please actually do it, do not simply rebut that, read about it
and i'll get back to you 2morrow

=D

and by the way
I am British myslef,
So i hate neither nation
I dislike their leaders and their foreign policy/.

First of all, happy new year!

I'll tell you what... We can talk about all of the things you just brought up AFTER you answer my questions from my previous post. I want you to tell me how much you appreciate the things I mentioned about what the United States has done to help/save the world, and then I would like for you to tell me what the Hussein regime did that was better for the world. Then you can tell me how the U.S. and the Hussein regime are morally equal.

Even if everything you just brought up is seen in the darkest possible light on the U.S., where it is exactly as you described it and we have no justification whatsoever, how does any of it compare to what I said about the Hussein regime? Again, there is no comparison.

You, and others, turn around and say that you only have a problem with our government and not the people. Don't forget that we people voted those people into power and that they acted under our political pressure. I voted for Bush, so you are talking about things that I had something to do with. You have a right to do that, and we can still be friends even though you are saying that stuff, but remember that when you throw around the term "United States", you are talking about all of us. With that being the case, I want to know how much you appreciate the sacrifices so many of us have made to give you a better life than you would have otherwise. If you are not white, you would not even exist right now if it were not for the United States. Do you know what Hitler got really far with doing before we teamed up with the Soviet Union and Britain to stop his world domination stunt? Do you have any idea what Americans, some of whom I am related to and many others that I knew, went through to stop that crap? What did the Hussein regime ever do for the world?
