The United States presently occupies nations sitting on the worlds vast oil and natural gas reserves. We are heavily dependent upon imports for oil. Am I the only one who sees these similarities? Certainly documenting United States’ military atrocities beginning with it’s treatment of the Native Americans all the way to Abu Graib and the current battle field executions of detainees would be exhaustively redundant.

“Do you guys have an enemy list aswell, like for people who would be more likley to fight against you than for you? If so, put me on it because if push comes to shove I will be there. One day people like me will do what people like your grandparents did to my country, rightly.

And before I forget, stop getting other countries to fight for you. Perhaps then I can do my military service without feeling bad about it.”

Hey dude, apparently you are referring to World War II, which was initiated by two countries: 1. Nazi Germany (assisted by Fascist Italy), and 2. Japan, about two years after the the murdering leader of Germany, Hitler, had initiated the war in Europe.

Either you have never studied real history, or choose to belie and ignore it, as some do.

It does not really need to be said, as it has been documented in countless books and documents and photographs, that the only reason Germany was bombed by the Allies is that your apparent beloved elected leader of Germany in the 1930′s had as his goal the conquering of the world, to be dictator of the world, and the extermination of a large group of people because of their particular religion. Because you choose to ignore this does not mean it did not happen.
So stow your obnoxious, immature and self-serving banter, and do something about your ignorance.
If American troops had not been battling Islamists who will murder anyone, anyone at all, to try to hurt America, because they believe their “God” wants them to murder anyone that is not them, then you and your country would be in as much danger ultimately of being murdered by those cutthroats as we Americans are.
The world does owe a debt to those who have given their lives, and place their lives in jeopardy, to fight evil, and the number one country doing so is still the U.S.A.

By the way, my father, not my grandfather, participated very much in the bombing of Germany to stop Hitler and his murdering ways. My father and millions like him did not go to war in Europe and the Pacific just because they wanted to, but because the world did and always will have those who choose to be evil and to try to conquer, dominate, plunder and harm others, as the elected leader of Germany did.

Unfortunately, like a weed coming up in a well-tended garden, you sprouted from seed that was left after the war, and the ideas and notions of superiority of Hitler and his gang of murderers lives on in hearts such as yours. So go read a real history book, instead of your NAZI lies. Learn some truth, and hopefully, change your attitude.

And the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security will be happy to get your profile from Reuters to add to their lists of real potential terrorists.

The amazing thing to me is that so many Americans are fine with the intrusive security at the airports, indefinite incarceration, torture, suspension of the 4th and 14th amendments, yet get all upset at curtailing gun rights for terror suspects.

gsteinun,
I found this link in the Washington Times after about one minutes worth of search:

So Kennedy was on a no fly list.

Greetings from Germany!

Wake up people. The name of the game is fear.. keep the people afraid and stupid and you have control over them. “I have an idea.. let’s always have the threat level at orange even if there’s nothing going on..”

Oh sure, there’s real terrorists out there.. but the majority of them are recruited because they are pissed that we killed hundreds of thousands of their own (Iraq, Afghanistan wars)

Now you too can be threatened as a terrorist because of the patriot act and many other such bills.. We are letting them sacrifice our freedoms for security.. Welcome to The United States of Fear mongering..
