But I still have not seen concrete proofs about it...
U.S. embassadors threatening the people of Bolivia on election days.
You got some 'concrete proofs' of this accusation?
When it comes to media reports about Al Qaeda, what does your idea of
'concrete' involve? Would anything short of an angel descending from on high
with a burning scroll be good enough? Who do you consider trustworthy? ("Who
do you believe is true? And nothing they say makes a difference this
way/Nothing they say will do.")
Nobody here, I don't think, is a blind follower of "My Country, Right Or
Wrong." As the Oilman points out, you can't blame every person in America for
the wrongs (overt and covert) committed by its leaders and shadowy fixers. We
do what we can: protest when we are moved to do so, keep ourselves informed
(and not just via the American media), and employ our hard-won right to vote.
What those elected (or those who can steal an election) do with their power
once they take office -- well, see item above. We get out there and create an
almighty stink about it. It's called the First Amendment, and we cherish it.
Other countries have often tried to copy our democracy; still more get tinpot
dictators. Some, granted, have been put in place by America; and some --
believe it or not -- steal their own elections. Hello, welcome to the real
world!
If you truly believe that the people on this board -- fans of Midnight Oil,
for goodness sake -- are 'brainwashed' by the "U.S. Forces," then I can think
of another application for your appellation 'pathetic' -- and it involves
you.
