Post; A picture's worth a thousand words


The picture was taken during the Darfur rally in Washington D.C




All who live in Tyranny and hopelessness can know: The US will not ignore your oppression or excuse your oppressor - President George W. Bush in January 2nd, 2005 Inaugural Address

-------------

And that is what I love about the United States. It means protection for those living in tyranny, freedom & equality for all, human rights and brotherhood to me and billions of people on this planet.

Unfortunatly you would find just about every country in the west and many in the far east as well I'm certain.

I'm sorry, didn't we just liberate two nations from oppression. Afghanistan and Iraq?

Maybe this idiot needs to pull his head out of his arse.

He is more than likely one of those that believe that the UN is the world power. Why doesn't he bitch about their actions in Darfur.

Easy gentlemen. Easy. This is just another example of two factions in the United States. Those for the US, and those against the US who will fight at everything we do, be it a democratic decision or a republican decision...I personally think that if we got more nations involved, we could get more "liberating" done quicker...just MHO

European mentality?

The US has liberated the entire planet as far as I know.

Look at those places where the US fought in for their freedom, Germany, France... Europe in General, South Korea, Japan,.... etc
and look at those places Europeans went in to colonize, namely Africa and East Asia

I suppose you were referring to me with that comment?

First of all, I don't believe the UN holds world power nor will it ever. Therefore I am not "bitching" about there actions in Darfur.

As I said "nice words".... but if he is serious about his words, what is keeping him? Liberating two particular countries (if you want to call it that, since there is still a terrible amount of violence) is a nice start. But even you and Phoenix must see that he says ALL and he is not even close to a few!
It's just a load of bollocks, you know that, I know that and they especially know that! It is nice rethorics which will never become true. Where I am from you say the things you are ready to back up and don't say things because they just sound nice. If you want to believe this Sesame-street rethoric... fine! But take a look around and where is the US in Darfur, Chad, Liberia, Myanmar, Nepal, Haiti, and the list goes on and on!
