Oh, America.
The country that propagates its stress for personal freedom and the people’s power. Indeed, the power is so great that they vote on everything. They even make sure judges are placed in power according to their spectacular sense of popularity. Because, you know, those who know what’s popular also know what is morally justified.
America is the poster child of democracy and liberties. They do not discriminate according to religion or skin colour, they discriminate according to the assumptions they can make by a person’s religion or skin colour. They don’t call all Muslims evil, they call them terrorists. And terrorists are evil, always!
“One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”
This holds especially true for the current state of USA. Everybody not happy with Americans invading sovereign countries, everybody who dares resist their military forces, everybody who even dares speak out against the needless invasions and mass murders, are dubbed terrorists by default. The fact that it was the American military that gave terrorists a cause, a reason to ‘terrorize’ (that means ‘fight back’), is completely by the point for them.
“What we should do doesn’t lie in the past.”
It lies in the future, and I know that. But to know what we should do, we must take a look at the past. Learn from our mistakes. If invading a country, say Afghanistan, was a mistake, and we know that, the next step is not to go to an another sovereign country, say Iraq, to do the same. Or a third place, say Iran or Pakistan, as the step after that. It is idiotic to keep doing the same thing again and again and expect different results each time. But it is the ‘American dream’.
