Ah, you mean like the fundamentalist Christians and Catholic church caused misery for people for generations?
Do you mean like the white Christians caused the black people when they bought them as slaves?
Or the white Christians caused the American Indians?
There are always two sides to every story, you buy into only one side, and that is what makes you a fanatic.
Were the US truly as pure as the right wing likes to believe, as we quietly generate billions in profits for oil companies, billions for defense contractors, etc. I might take your position with some degree of seriousness.
Our hands are just as dirty as the next superpower.
If this is a war of "ethics" we have to begin with being truly "ethical" ourselves first.
We are a country pushing our belief systems on the world, pushing our religion, pushing our "ism" on the world, and we beleive we are right because...we are self righteous.
I would be happy to have a society where we truly practiced the ethics of Christ, but that is not what is going on here at all.
Black and white thinkers are as shallow as a dime.
Quote from Rearden Metal:
No axeman, I believe he did answer.
Pat Tillman and Mohammad Atta are clearly ethical equals in his book. He has no belief that objective good and objective evil can exist in this world. He's the ultimate cultural relativist, and living proof of how and why human beings can indifferently cause each other so much misery and death over the centuries.
