Hiding under a chair will be of no avail.
My family was in HK when the Japanese invaded.
In college, I had a classmate from Japan, and I decided to force myself to try to make friends.
She turned out to be the most wonderful person..Im so glad I did that.

It looks pretty good, actually, which is why so many people try to get into it, to live there full- or part-time, to work there, or to visit it as tourists. It is just popular to badmouth #1 but a lot of people like the USA.Audie wrote:Americans who've not lived outside the USA really dont know how their country looks from the outside.

Re: The evil within us
It is the truth the whole goal from the beginning was to give the Iraqi's a better life than they had.I think you are just focusing on the politics of it.It is never easy to accomplish something like that and divisional politics complicates it even more but America was trying to give the Iraqi's a better life than they had and yet people criticize the effort and lose resolve to help accomplish it.melanie wrote:I'm sorry to say Abel but that is a daft thing to sayabelcainsbrother wrote:It is a mess but America was trying to give the Iraqi's a better life than they had but Political Correctness in america stopped it.neo-x wrote:Good for them they should take care of the mess they created in the first place.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:You are correct.

Americas invasion of Iraq, done so under completely illegitimate justifications has left the country in political meltdown.
Since the invasion whatever bonds held Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish elements together within the one state have been destroyed.
The result... What we are seeing now!
Sometimes for whatever reasons people just don't want to see the writing on the wall. It is nicer and easier to stay in the comfort zone and tune out the finer details.

Re: The evil within us
Sorry but I am not badmouthing America because it popular to do so. I think many westerners feel proud to defend the honor of America, such as yourself but I don't blame you. You have to be in my shoes to feel what I feel and vice versa. To you America has been good, for me the case is different.

It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night

Re: The evil within us
If time comes when Slovak men would have to go to army and kill poeople (see Ukraine situation) I hope they will massively refuse to fight. Many rather would go to prison than go fighting and killing (and what for?).
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

Re: The evil within us
I do think America has been good for the west as it had the power to dominate and conquer and destroy yet has tried to use it's power for good.Kind of like a super hero using its power to rescue.But America has lost its way and unless God performs a miracle America is committing a kind of slow suicide.neo-x wrote:Sorry but I am not badmouthing America because it popular to do so.
