A state of affairs

The American dream. Millions of people all around the world strive to be part of it. Those in third world countries watch Hollywood blockbusters and imagine a world with no hunger, no suffering, no struggling for existence and no meaningless mortality. Sounds very la vie en rose, doesn't it?

Ever speak to a Mexican or Canadian about their American Ally and most will turn up their noses and scoff. Majority of the world's population does not look upon Americans kindly. Most like myself, find the average American arrogant, ignorant, rude and unbelievably self absorbed. In matters of politics, the evil eye is more in accordance then the acknowledging nod. The Bush administration doesn't quite comprehend the concept of foreign policy. It's really not their fault. I mean, you can't really be expected to understand the world if you've never had the courage to leave Texas and explore it.

Be that as it may. This new fascination with Iran... Really? Now that the US has successfully destroyed the millennia old civilization of Badhdad, best turn their attention to the neighbouring Persians. Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Vietnam and South Korea weren't enough to allow the Americans to see that their interference in cultures they did not understand, came to no avail. They claim that they are liberating people and de-clawing terrorists by destroying weapons of mass destruction.

Ever wonder how many weapons of Mass Destruction exist in the US today? They are the only ones that has ever used them in full combat against another country (Japan). What is so wrong about the rest of us defending ourselves in the same way the US defends itself. Especially the Middle East. They've already raped and pillaged Iraq. Now they're after Iran. How is it that, their economy is on a sharp decline yet they seem to constantly be in funds such that they can propagate war and make threats at the drop of a hat.

I think the world should rise up and say Nay. I think that the United Nations needs new blood. I think the US is getting a taste of their own medicine. What does a people know about the value of life if they've never had to fight for existence or justice on their own soil. What gives one country the right to tell another how to live under threat of invasion or destruction. To impose their will on those, who do not have the resources to fight back. Patriotism, Totaliarinism or Terrorism... its a matter of perspective.

Every great nation/civilization has fallen. History always repeats itself. The meek will inherit the earth and it will all end in a whimper.
