re: #98 Political Atheist

Yet none of these flaws are limited to one kind of governance only. We see these sins committed by left and right over the decades. Funny how so many seem determined to think it is. Too many think their favorite brand of government can do no wrong.

my point is - we are too quick to criticize other nations - who, quite honestly - have not behaved as badly as we have.
crimea? sorry - nothing - nothing compared to iraq

putin, for all his ills, for all his megalomania - is still a better actor on the world stage than the united states was from 2000-2009

there are few nations who behaved in as bad a manner as the united states - and to watch americans call out everyone else and their uncle without looking in the mirror is as exasperating as it is dishonest.

point out how bad chavez was - and he was bad - but we were worse - and we live in a democracy - we have only ourselves to blame.

maybe we can remember that when we call for snowden to be punished….. who is going to avenge the hundreds of thousands of deaths in iraq?

perspective people…
