Why the US cannot be wrong.

Name: Anonymous 2005-12-20 3:04

I have always wondered why there isn't open debate about the inadequacy of the United States government and how dangerous it has become to everyone in the world. I have come to a conclusion:

Democracy has evolved into the greatest weapon against free thought known to mankind. It is currently the status quo on all things fair and equal all over the planet, and yet now its truest weakness is beginning to show. The United States, the self proclaimed nearest-to-perfect democracy, has REelected officials who act to the detriment of society.

This fact alone threatens not only the idea of 'democracy,' but also of the human race's confidence in their judgment and minds. Because of this, we must continue to reinforce the idea that whoever we vote into office can do no absolute wrong, and in that, we've established a totalitarian control on our own ability to think.

Any 'thoughts'?

That's great. I suppose it's my fault for invoking the admittedly limited left-right spectrum, although it is useful in many cases. I probably should have used "presidents they do/don't like," which would apply regardless of left-right ideological characteristics, since the more devoted anti-war crowd tend to view all politics (and, by extension, the politicans who participate in it) as corrupt, since it doesn't reinforce their minority opinions and simplistic view of the world. Then they invent excuses, or latch on to old ones, such as the incessantly peddled Marxist insanity about class conflict. But I'll stop here and leave the psychology for another thread.

Anyway, what war crimes, exactly, did Clinton commit? And, just as a hypothetical question to whet my curiosity, if you were the chief executive of a state (U.S. President, British Prime Minister, etc.) under what, if any circumstances, would you authorize the use of military force?
