How is everything America’s fault?
July 14, 2008
Just explain to me why we’re to blame for everything? Yes, we are to blame for bringing more instability to the Middle East with our asinine war in Iraq, but not in Afghanistan…that was justified (we just dropped the ball on that one). We are to blame for our unwarranted influence in some areas as well…but that’s because the current administration is simply unintellectual and wants to keep moving in a direction until they’ve ruined us all (which they’re pretty close to doing).
But in today’s news, the International Criminal Court has charged the Sudanese president of genocide against the people in Darfur. That’s a good charge and well warranted. But in a CNN.com article reporting on the news, the supporters of Omar Hassan al-Bashir held a rally and shouted “Death to America”. Why? Why is it that if something bad happens, you need to shout “Death to America” or blame America for it? We’re not the only country to charge that the Sudanese government is committing genocide. There are other countries that are doing this. Do you hear them shouting “Death to France”? No…it probably doesn’t have a good ring to it. But hell, when things go bad, why not blame those “meddling Westerners”, right? That’s absurd and people who continue to do this simply because they don’t know who else to blame are retarded and deserve to rot in jail or be in the current situation they’re in.
I’ll admit that we have a lot of problems going on in the world and America is probably a major influencer, but that doesn’t mean that we’re a scapegoat. The Bush Administration has completely f*cked up our foreign policy and changed it from one of peace and dialogue to one of “we’re arrogant and do whatever the heck we want”. Please don’t judge Americans from our stupid leaders in the big White House on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They’re retards and we’re working to get rid of them come the next election and we’ll finally have some sense and sensibility in our government that’ll help move us away from armed conflict and bring peace back to the country and possibly the world?

“we’re arrogant and do whatever the heck we want”
I think that pretty much explains why many people are angry at the US.
However, that attitude has not occurred just since Bush.
The US supports any regime fair or foul that will do business - ie, allow the US to take out the natural resources - . The US will supply munitions for the regime to oppress the people, so long as it gets the oil. The regime gets rich, the US gets their oil, the people are oppressed and lash out at America for oppressing them.
This is a very old story, not just Bush.
