    thats what I dont get, even here americans starting to bash one side as it is in reality and at the same time they say "I dont hate anyone, I just help one side to destroy the other" :D

    Why dont you leave them and have them shoot each other, they will never end up in piece.

    Or, perhaps, the bigger countries-sponsors just need some real tests: US will test its weapons with Israel killing their neighbours, Russia will test its weaponry with Iran, etc. Very sad I must say.

    It's kinda hard to answer something that is predicated upon a biased false opinion, specifically "America has started to rather aggressively interfere with other country’s affairs".

    I guess you have to support this contention, or at the very least explain why you chose to be dishonest in your opening paragraph.. :confused:

    Jeremy, did you give the whole article a chance. Please do so. How old are you?

    Please define what interfere with other country's affairs means from your perspective and then I can try to explain it to you from there. If you don't I'll explain it from few of possible perspective(s) the opinion was based on

    1. Perspective #1: let's call the country in the world that has it's military troops in most other sovereign countries of the world the one that most aggressively interferes with other country's affairs. Answer USA.

    2. Perspective #2: let's call the country in the world that has the most powerful spying organization and most number spies in the world the one that most aggressively interferes with other country's affairs. Answer USA.

    3. Perspective #3: let's call the country in the world that attacked and killed civilans of most other countries of the world, without consent of United Nations, the one that most aggressively interferes with other country's affairs. Answer USA.

    Now, the bashing of USA was not the intention of my article, on the contrary, and that's why I asked you to read it fully before commenting.

    Cheers

    Other than your 3rd perspective that i view as total rubbish, the other two sound like a nation thats trying to protect itself, to the best of its abilities.


    With The third perspective id like to know your source of those fugures, if it is in fact, a true statement at all.

    So you would theoretically see killing everyone else in the world just as a way to protect yourself against harm to the best of your abilities? One guy tried it 60 years ago that didn't go very well for him.

    Third perspective, since you wanted facts - there is only one military attack of an UN country against another UN country without the consent of UN since the founding of UN. USA led attack on Serbia & Montenegro 1999.

    that wasn't listed in the above perspectives, nor is it even true. I see strategic placement of troops and spies even, as protection, yes

    I have come to understand my country is not innocent in all of its movements, but we are not trying to kill everyone in the world. There maybe be other agendas at work, but lets not get ridiculous.

    I cant comment on that as i am not very familiar with it. I do know this, its never the US's intentions to kill innocents. We are not a country full of monsters, we are all people too, with hearts and feelings for innocents that die.

    The greatest world threat is humans.

    We all just need to get along.

    If you don't like something that someone is doing, but it isn't physically affecting your wellness, then let it be.

    The problem is, everyone has their own views, and to the other side, those views may be good/bad depending on morals.

    The best thing to do, is enjoy yourself, enjoy life, and ignore everything else, because until it is physically interfering with your daily life, it shouldn't matter.

    Well I can comment on (3), USA led invasion to prevent ethnic cleansing by Miloslovec. I do not fault USA on this. I feel that this is one worthy invasion that protect the innocent and led to the capture of the war criminal who is now R.I.P.

    Add on - If I remember correctly the then President of the USA was Clinton.

    To understand Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's mindset and behaviour requires close scrutiny of the elaborate and intricate theology of Hujetieh Shiism, perhaps the most fundamentalist of the numerous Shiite sects.
    In the 1950s, a group of Islamic clergyled by Sheikh Mahmoud Halabi (a close associate of Ayatollah Khomeini) formed a society called the Anjoman-e Khayryyehye Hujjatiyyah-ye Mahdaviat (Charitable Society of the Mahdi), based in Mashhad, Iran. The Hujjatyyah membership was mostly composed by the bazaar-i businessmen and fanatical mullahs. Among many things, they were against the communists, Marxists, and atheists. Their overarching "raison d'être," however, was to prepare the world for the upcoming of the 12th Imam -- the Mahdi.

    There's some more about his character. - http://westminsterjournal.com/content/view/71/1/

    Just think about all history, was it peace? Maybe per short period of time .....

    Humans are too weak, only God can bring a real peace.
