Komitsuki: It would be difficult for me, being "western" to look at things from and "eastern" perspective. I understand they have it, it's just that I couldn't begin to try and comprehend it since my "western" thought process will just get in the way. I don't mean to slight what your saying nor do I suggest that it doesn't have merit. It just means I'm not going to be able to decipher it the way your asking me to, because I will invaribly look at them with Western ideals.

The giest of what your trying to say, I think anyway, is that "western" thought has corrupted "Eastern" ideals. That may be true, or it could be that "Western and Eastern" ideals are mergeing to form a third set of ideals? That wouldn't be a bad thing either, would it?

Afterall, you can't get Purple, unless you mix red and blue.

As to the individual with the 911 "conspiracy". The "secondary explosions" are the result of the collums collapseing under the added weight of the upper floors falling on them. This created a cascade effect. The real video you should see is the documentory by the two brothers who were filming a fire department, they were the only camera's on site during the actual event.

The other thing is that your suggesting the same government that operated Fema during Katrina was actually capable of pulling off such a catastrophic thing like 911 and keep it secret? I mean, really now.

Concerning Iraq; Iraq was targeted for alot of reasons that people were not told about, because frankly they didn't need to know. It's the same reason the press wasn't told about Normandy during D Day. However, I can "suggest" what was going on. Iraq was utilized as a prefabricated theatre of opperation. The Tora Bora region between Pakistan and Afganistan is very difficult terrain, so we needed to gode the Jihadi's, who tend to go where the "crusaders" are, into fighting on terrain more favorable to us.

Also, we wanted to establish airbases in the region, oil is one reason true enough, I won't deny that. However, containment of Iran is another. Look at the countries we invaded or are allied with in relation to Iran on a map and you will see what I mean. It's the same as when we used containment on the USSR.

The A-bombs during WW2 were used to get Japan to surrender as fast as possible. Yes we wanted to save lives, we also wanted to save Japan as a nation. You may not believe that, but when Russia declared war on Japan, the US felt pressed for time because they wanted to prevent what happened in Germany. So, with two bombs, two planes and two cities, we demonstrated that we could destroy Japan in a couple days if they didn't surrender. Sure it was a big bluff, since we didn't actually have any more bombs left, but they didn't know that.

Yes, we did alot of horrible things during that war and every war we get into. America can be a dark destroyer, I get that. However, we also feed most the planet, treat illness and help out after Natural disasters. We have also rebuilt many of the nations we attacked..Like for instance, Japan. We also defend many of those same nations today.

Despite it's problems, I still say the world is better off with America around than with out it.
