Well, Simius, my view on this topic is kind of wishy-washy, really. While I think only the ignorant could possibly think that the U.S is innocent, to
insinuate that the U.S is "eeevil" or somehow insinuate that we are all that is wrong with this #ed up world is even more ignorant.
For example, there is the video thread about "Who killed" someone, can't even remember the guy's name... Anyway, they tried to pin the creation of
Islamic fundamentalism strictly on the shoulders of the U.S in 1976... I found sources that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that they were all full
of #.. Islamic fundamentalism has existed at least for the last 100 years and Nazi Germany even funded it. Guess what, everyone ignored my post and
continued to discuss the issue as if their original assumption were true when I had proven it obviously is not.. That to me is when criticism devolves
into anti-Americanism.
There is a lot of that here at ATS...If it doesn't fit their "let's blame America" conspiracy theories, they ignore it. Yet, they lambast you when
you ignore their comments.
So, I guess on the one hand,Simius, I agree with your thoughts on this, and on the other, I don't...
