if the US didnt install the shah, didnt install saddam, didnt meddle with the internal affairs of others.. 9/11 wud not have happened...  |
I'm sorry, you just offended every serious book I've ever read on Foreign Policy. And sir, after a B.A. in American History, a M.A. in American Diplomatic History, another M.A. un U.S. foriegn policy, and a J.D. with an emphasis in International Law, that is more than one or two.
We 'installed' the Shah? Where did you get this? Do you really believe those stupid stories about Eliott Roosevelt?
We 'caused' tensions with the Arab world? I think that was a pretty tension filled bunch long before we came on the scene.
We 'installed' Saddam? What?
'Meddled' with others 'internal' affiars? Yeah, that's called 'foreign policy,' most governments practice it.
That is a load of bunk, but then again, talking to a Ronulan is usually a silly exercise. I try to keep from it, but am not always successful. A fellow came in my office the other day that didn't want to deal with some charges that I had filed against him. He claimed that he couldn't have a driver's liscense since it was part of the government conspiracy to track him and would place the mark of the beast upon him.
Then he saw a Fred sticker on my desk, looked at me, and said, I kid you not, "can I talk to you about Ron Paul?" It was like RP was some kinda messianic figure. I then proceeded to kick him out of my office.
Yes, Ron is a absolute kook.
