HItler got what was coming to him
As far as re-writing history, that is a BIG no no! Furthermore...history ...or any story, takes a different twist depending on who tells it (or who wirtes the textbook for that matter), so a person who is nterested in historical truths will look at realiable sources and examine materials by several reliable historical authors (Strangelly enough I learned this in biology class).
As far as our x-pres goes. We are THE most technologically advanced nation on the planet? Am I right or am I right? (lol a little national pride here
) ... if that is the case... how the heck is it possible for us to be bombing targets like hospitals, media centers (tv/radio stations) and other civilian targets when under some sort of "war code of honor" we are supposed to take out only military targets ? Furthermore...remember the chinese embassy ? IT was bombed...boy was that a PR nightmare! IT is INNEXCUSABLE to have this very advanced technology and make such huge blunders. Granted the military executed these actions but clinton, as the pres back then, was the man in charge, he sent troops in there, and technically he is the "supervisor" in that whole situation... I cant fathom that these are tech mistakes because we wouldnt be considering paying the same guys to make a missile defense plan for us....I can just imagine it now "ph it was a software glitch and littletown, MI was whipped out" ... so if it wasnt a glitch (or glitches) those targets were pre-approved and taken out, in which case it is a crime because unarmed civilian were in such builings...
The Hague, as an idea, is nice. but as I have said before, it applies to nations that have signed its charter...else how can it work? How can it be just? Can big nationals come in and bully small nations ? Should we take those 2 african tribes (tatouis and toutsies ?? I cant remember the names) that kill one another and take em to court ?
As far as intervening...sometimes situations merit intervention, but again it's a matter or timing and circumstance. I think that countries have a soveregn right to do what they want within their borders (something that doesnt effect other countries...like for example if the polute, they cant do that since it effects their neighbors )
Although I don't condonne the loss of human life, imagine a situation like this:
some group/race/political affiliation wants to take a state (from the USA) and make a country out of it. Of course the supreme court (AFAIK) doesnt allow any state to break from the union. Lets say ALL (or 85%) of the citizens of that state want to break away, but since they are not allowed they take up arms. Lets say good ol gerge bush sends in the guard, the police, the FBI, the army and the whatevers and tehre is some sort of massacre, a big battle(s), and there was some sort of -cide (be it genocide, political party affliation-ocide, etc etc etc) ... do you think that ANY country in the world is going to object ???? Or even if they do will something come of it ???
I am reminded of the days of the black movement with all the freedom rides and so on. When blacks were treated as subhumans, they were beaten and so on. WORLD newspapers in italy, france, germany, greece, the UK and so on covered these conditions and treatments of the black people....and what did a whitty senator (or was it congressman ?) say? "I will worry about international opinion when we stop giving them money"... This makes my blood boil! How the f*ck do some people think that they are above certain standards ??? IF you are going to go meddle in the internal affairs of one country you have to be open for other countries to do the same to your country.
Oh well... it's too early for this. let me finish my coffee and I will be back
