What is Right and Wrong about America
The people are what is right about America. Essentially all people are kind and courteous to others and would not go out of their way to harm anyone. Most people just want to live their lives in the way that gives them the least amount of pain and suffering and the maximum amount of joy and happiness. That is, unless they are riled up about something or someone.
Americans have been led to believe that we have been wronged and by the “purely human right” of righteous indignation, we should go to war with whoever did such a monstrous thing as to try to pick on the one so-called “Super Power” left. We have been wronged; it is true, but by our own government. Not by any political party, but by the whole system that supports war at any price as an end not a means. Political parties only implement that system of war.
America had a government limited to a doing a few things when it was founded.
Most Americans still want as little government intervention in their lives as only necessary for a safe life. Our present form of government has clearly overstepped its bounds and now assumes that everyone wants the government to do everything for them.
There is not one person in America that wants this as it is inconsistent with high self esteem, if given a choice. We are not given a choice. Americans are proud of their independence and instead want the government to get out of their lives and leave them to do what they have to do to survive well on this earth. American politicians misinterpret the signals their voters are giving them because they want to be reelected so badly, they will promise anything to do so. Most of these promises die on the vine after the politicians are reelected and the people are sorely disappointed. The American people do not like being led to the slaughter by ill meaning politicians interested in only lining their pockets with money while printing more to deflate the value of the dollar. Before the year 2005 when a barrel of oil cost less than $50, the American people were not in a useless war that deflated the US dollars to an all time low with respect to other currencies. Before America went in to save Iraq from Sadaam, Iraq was producing a lot more oil at significantly lower prices. If securing the oil source for America was the goal as many people believe it was and is, then America is doing a very poor job in Iraq. However if war is the goal then America is doing very well because from all hints, we are about to step into Iran big time. Now that most large American cities have a crime/murder rate higher than Bagdad, our purpose can longer be keeping the Iraqi safe from the kill squads. If fomenting war is the goal in Iraq however, America has done very well, pitting Sunnis against Shiites at every turn. If America wanted to free Iraq from murder then why have we put sworn enemies next to each other in a Parliamentary setting and expected them to behave nicely when the sun goes down. The only thing the Sunnis and the Shiites agree to is the fact that they hate Americans more than they hate each other.
Do the American people like this war? No, they have said so loud and clear.
Have the American people been led down the primrose path? Yes, by several presidents all in the name of Democracy and peace.
Can Americans be manipulated into the position of supporting any war? Yes, Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, Somalia, Germany, Japan, and even civil war among themselves. All one has to do is push the right buttons. And believe me our buttons are being pushed by expert psychologists who know exactly what they are doing to us.
