Wars are always the same since the soldiers are there to hurt people and break things. The natives are always told different since there's a propaganda component. The only difference is that nowadays the propaganda is more focused towards the attacking nation to make their own people feel good about raping another nation. THAT is because the nation's populace is better educated and requires more propaganda in order to overcome the larger view of the matter that education naturally tends to provide.
This is indeed an Imperialist conquest of Iraq since it's being seized of its oil. The old Imperialism required a rather strong invader presence as national managers. However, globalism has allowed Imperialism to effectively be outsourced. You don't need to rule a nation so pervasively anymore, to steal the 1 or 2 resources that you're there to take. That's why the US is trying to stay in Baghdad. However, regardless of how efficient that is, that's inevitably fatal since the outlier forces have plenty of room to maneuver and will eventually enclose and move in on the Green Zone. Hence: Saigon. You fuckers remember Saigon, don't you? The US ran like a little bitch with its tail between its legs. So it does appear that those colors DO run.
Again, WWI and WWII were ESCALATED by warhawks on both "sides". The West likes to pawn off the "appeaser" myth, but traveling to Europe to defend yourself is the height of hypocrisy. Both wars were European entanglements that the USA should have stayed 100% out of. Of course, by arming one side over another, a side was taken, and then a process of drawing in occurred. Mutual defense pacts (which can only be written by warhawks) ensured this entanglement.
You're probably one of retards who thinks Hitler would have conquered the world if he wasn't stopped. Hah! He couldn't even manage his own military, and he certainly didn't have full control of France. And Russia?
Please.
All conquerors overreach and tend to be inherently unable to rule what they've conquered. Literally, Europe would have sorted itself out eventually. After all, it was across the Atlantic. Why cross an entire ocean to defend yourself? You defend yourself on your OWN soil, in your OWN waters, and in your OWN airspace. This is just a simple fact of self defense that escapes the attention of empires -- of which, the USA is one.
Empires think the entire world is their territory.
I like how you admit "
[o]pposing the war is not supporting terrorism", but you just can't stay in your seat with that, can you? Your marching orders over rightwingnut talk radio tells you that you can't EVER accept that people have intrinsic freedom in this false Republic of ours. So you lean on the "evil like them" issue. Bitch, the only pervasive evil being committed here is by American troops. The
US Murder Machine has caused a lot more death and property damage than any other terrorist group. But you're incapable of seeing yourself as the bad guy. So you demonize the dissenters. Sad.
As for killing faggots like me, I can take care of myself. Specifically, I do NOT authorize you to fight any battles in my name. I have a lot higher reputation than to let slavering killers murder people across the world and associate their terrorist activities with my good name.
And semi-finally, this obsession you have with being "on top" is the clear admission of being the World's Biggest Asshole. Such militarism frankly deserves terrorist attacks. Anybody in the world who wants to be free, probably deserves to attack you. After all, that's your own clear doctrine; you imagine some guys living in caves will destroy your civilization, and so you bomb the shit out of them. At least, the free peoples of the world have ample evidence of continuous Western interference in their nations to justify defending themselves against you.
Once again, the United States is the world's leading rogue nation, and the US military is 1 of the 2 top terrorist groups in the world (the other one being Russia's remnant military).
All this has been well enough determined from the lies said over the last 6 years. Some assholes attacked Jew York and largely killed some yuppies and knocked some buildings over so that a very wealthy Jew could collect billions in an insurance claim. That's about it. In response, 14000 troops were sent to fuck around in Afghanistan, to little practical effect except that the Unocal oil pipeline proposal there was suddenly approved again, and then over TEN TIMES that number were sent to Iraq where Osama bin Laden had never stepped foot and where Al Qaeda was not welcome (among other religious extremists, since Hussein was secular). It's the world's biggest "bait and switch". Terrorism is NOT being fought; in fact, given that Iraq has been transformed into a big terrorist training camp, terrorism is being PROMOTED. The world is now a lot more dangerous under Bush and the Neo-Cons and the compliant Neo-Liberals in the Congress. Another terrorist attack on America is a double certainty ... and we frankly deserve it. We attacked the Middle East.
WE'RE THE BAD GUYS. We're the Nazi Germany of the 21st Century.
P.S. Have you enlisted yet? Have you put your own balls on the lethal line that you so easily draw? Or are you just another member of the
101st Fighting Keyboardists while the rural and the poor get blown to shit for Exxon?
