Imagine if other countries treated us like Iran, Iraq etc. (the shoe being on the other foot)

After all we DO have WMDs and a dangerous crackpot dictator!

1. Imagine if a nation's leaders publicly discussed invading & bombing
the US. Possibly with nukes. We wouldn't be as restrained as the nations bushCartel publicly threaten. Or invade & occupy & slaughter.

But that's ok, coz we're GAWD BLESSED AMERICANS BY GAWD!

Every MONTH we're perpetrating a 911 equivalent on the people of Iraq & have been for going on 4 years. A nation of people who hadn't been doing a damn thing to anyone.

But that's ok, coz we're GAWD BLESSED AMERICANS BY GAWD!

Funny how so many Americans really don't understand why we're so hated.

4. We've looked into both Canada and Mexico
U.S. citizens aren't desired. Europe is also tightening their immigration rules.

W has cast us as the Ugly American once again.

2. Exactly. We are seen as war mongers
We are the only country to drop the A bomb on a civilian population. W is absolutely insane to talk about nuclear bunker bombs to "keep peace" when he is the one doing the threatening.

Iraq was going to attack us by drones and Condi used the possibility of mushroom clouds?

Hey, we pretty well decimated the Indians, enslaved the Blacks, dropped the A bomb on a civilian population...but we're just your everyday Joe that just wants peace. Sure. We have been taken over by a maniac and his deluded supporters.

6. thank you. I keep pointing this possibility out to the little trolls on
my own boards, and they have NEVER responded. right now, I am fighting with them as they poll "is nuking iran a crime against humanity?" as though this were some casual sort of thing.

8. Believe me, I've often thought about that!
I understand "protecting yourself" but strutting around the world playing bully is just plain wrong!

I've been thinking about the new leader in Iran too. Everyone says he's a mad man. Is he? Is he any crazier than Shrub? After all, it was Shrub who named the "axis of evil" countries, and then invaded one of them! Is it really so hard to understand why this guy would want a nuke?

9. poking hornets nests
THere's is one thing protecting your own ountry against foes but this government is foolish to think that if it goes around the world poking at bee or hornets nests they one day will swarm.
