Current Events » in reply to Just out of curiosity, can anything other than the U.S. and Israel piss you off?

Sure. When Saddam drained the marshes, I wrote my Senator.

Bitching. My goddamned head off. Got nowhere. "Noted".

And, I hold my country, my very own country, to a higher standard than I do others. I have a right to be pissed off at my country for becoming like the worst countries in the world.

As for Israel, I despise ethnic cleansing. And that crap about them being driven to the sea, Israel, with nukes and other WMD, against disarmed and virtually helpless Palestinians, Israel with it's US financed Berlin Wall, killing and maiming folks who have no recourse except the occasional suicide bomber, really pisses me off.

Israelis admit it. Ordained in the Bible. It's documented they are exterminating the Palestinians. And some folks believe the "drive 'em into the sea" bullshit. And if someone where killing me, my family and all my neighbors, I'd want 'em dead, too. So much for the Palestinians 'wanting 'em dead'. Of course they do.

Never have liked bullies, never have liked exterminations, never have liked looting.

And I resent when the US uses the worst people on Earth to justify being just like them. The US should behave honorably at all times, not using the ends (looting) to justify the means (torture and slaughter).

What is wrong with that idea - resenting that the US used to be a bastion of Human Rights, and now has become a rogue nation, a badguy, a bully? Anyone who doesn't resent that, to my mind, doesn't love their country, they love something else.
