Oh you dirty...Reign in Acai said:Well when the hell did a government do something that was not in Their best interest? It's only common sense my dear Watson.
Analogy-
You=U.S
Your friend= Palebabbashitholestein
Democracy- A bass
Hamas= $1,500
You want your friend to play the bass so in the long run it benefits you right? He in turn agrees to play the bass, but by your own error takes you for $1,500. Now he's playing the bass, you're out of the band, and $1,500 is laughing you in the face. But hey he's playing the bass right? Now tell me, how happy do you feel?

But, y'know, fuck any kind of compromise or sensible multilateralism, we're the USA and we can do whatever the fuck we want with no consequences, right? AMERICA FUCK YEAH.

Here's actually where you and I agree on one point: governments definitely ALWAYS act in their own self-interest. My problem is that US pretends that we don't. We tout democracy as the way to go, and that's a big pile of bullshit. I mean if anything, I would like to think that the US holds itself in higher regard and would rather do the RIGHT thing every once in awhile, instead of just whatever will get us to pass Go the fastest. But that's a pipe dream, unfortunately.

how about the thousands they send over there to die to secure the stolen resources?
or is that ok because for the most part theyre just poor saps that couldnt get a better job or decent education because of the downsizing of industry in thier local communities?
