@Foxi4 I really don't understand you, of why you hate the US so much. If you won a Green card or something I bet you would be screaming for joy to move to America. I have lots of Polish that live in my area and they love it 10x more in the USA then Poland.
I don't hate America. I hate some of your highly intrusive interior and exterior policies, your Big Brother style society where everybody values privacy yet everybody can be screened, I hate the framework, not the idea.
I'm well-aware that many Poles live in America. Good for them. I assure you though, I wouldn't move to America even if I got paid for doing so.
It's really irritating that you consistently refuse to recognize the distinction between the US government and its people. These "Big Brother" policies and the illegal "war on terror" that accompanied them are highly unpopular, both here and abroad. What you're doing is turning your opposition to US foreign policy inside-out; instead of placing blame on who it really belongs (the US state and the oil magnates and cartels), you choose to blame "America" in the abstract. By your argument, "you and Poland" are responsible for contributing at one time to the Iraqi bloodbath, even though "your" troops have been largely withdrawn. Your logic, as well as your high horse, is made up of nothing but these silly abstractions.
Our troops were sent to Iraq simply because we couldn't refuse sending them - our current buisness relations with the States as far as trade of military equipment is concerned clearly states that we're sort of forced to support whatever stupid idea your government pulls off or the magic faucet of dollars and half-price F-16's plus the technology to produce them will have its valve turned to the shitty side. I'll admit - we stepped in because we had to, much like most of the U.N did. Thing is, we started leaving when we were no longer necessary. Our troops were sent as a peace corp., yours to wage a regular war. There's a tiny difference.
I'm not saying that simply being American automatically means that you're the hellspawn and you haven't learned anything since Christian cursades to the east ended and that you still don't grasp the idea that the east is different and cannot be understood through the pink glasses of a western attitude - that'd be a stereotype.
What I'm saying is that you can't point your finger at the government ALL THE TIME saying "It ain't us, they did it" and feel absolutely 0% responsible - that's also a stereotype, and it's been circulating the states since the Vietnam war. You ARE, to an extent, responsible for your imperialistic government because you CHOOSE the government in open, public elections. YOU give those people the power necessary to make their cock-againts-terrorists-rubbing dreams come true, and you believe in every slightest promise of change they give you instead of reading actual political programmes the parties represent. It's the whole "medialization" of politics, forgive me the term, that's at fault here - the brightest TV spot wins, not the best campaign.
It's also sad to see that people present in the public life turn this into an opportunity to celebrate. Celebrate what? Celebrate wasting tax money for 10 years to get one old, terminally ill terrorist?
