The world is a hodge-poge of conflicting historical facts, of each countries stance on the others affairs, and on each countries higher ground attitude over the other.
For instance, Europe (England and France) did beg for help when Hitler was invading and conquering them, and both wanted the United States to get into the mix. HOWEVER! It was not just the politicians that didn't want to enter WWII. The AMERICAN PEOPLE after the horrific losses in WWI, had become (and rightly so) ISOLATIONIST IN THOUGHT, wanting no part of foreign affairs or wars. THEY (the people of America) had been the ones whom had suffered the losses of family members only to have the Europeans to snub their noses at them after the conflict.
And now let us look a the "BUTCHER OF EUROPE", Adolf Hitler. He is credited with killing 6 million Jews in an effort to "cleanse the white race", and is held up as one of the most evil people to have ever lived. Hitler's feats of carnage PALE TO AMERICA'S. We since about 1973 have BUTCHERED IN EXCESS OF 50,000,000 CHILDREN IN THE NAME OF CONVENIENCE. THAT'S FIFTY MILLION BABIES FOR THOSE THAT HAVE TROUBLE WITH ZEROS. GOD BLESS AMERICA?
I DOUBT THE WORLD HAS KILLED THAT MANY IN WWI, WWII, KOREA, VIETNAM, IRAQ, AND AFGANISTAN COMBINED.
Now I am in full agreement that the AMERICAN POLITICIAN has no stomach for war. REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT. But whom voted them in, and CONTINUE TO VOTE THEM IN? AMERICANS! That's who! Whether you vote Democrat, or Republican, or the trend of the last 3 decades "THE LESSOR OF TWO EVILS"
, the American people have "ceased to be individuals", and have ceased to vote FOR INDIVIDUALS. They instead vote for HERD MEMBERS, whom they "kinda sorta" agree with.
Obama is president today because Americans have lost their individualism, and have stopped voting for the good solid individualS, BUT INSTEAD vote PARTY, all the while making excuses for their choices, and blaming others whom refuse to drink their brand of kool aid.
You want change? Then YOU change (Americans collectively). That's the way I see it, and no one else has to agree, and probably doesn't. I also don't ride in cars or planes, that the driver, or pilot, kinda sorta knows how to drive or fly.
NOW! IF YOU AND I SEE THE INCOMPETENCE OF THE AMERICAN POLITICIAN, AND OUR OWN HYPOCRACY. YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS, THE WORLD SEES ALSO.
