    Joe, that is a matter of definition of depravity and opinion.
    And since when have you become such an expert in what I want?

    It seems to me that it is you, Americans, who are like rabid believers,
    actively ignoring and explaining away all the facts that contradict your
    belief in the Almighty America the Righteous Nation, instead of looking
    at the facts on the ground of what you are doing.

    Amnesty International has plenty of reports, but I don't suppose
    any of you even bother to follow them, since they've been plenty
    critical of America's conduct as well.

    That is what you may believe, indeed it is what your TV is saying 24/7,
    but is that really your governments' real and ultimate goal, the driving
    force behind the decition to go to War?

    I think the ultimate goal was stated in the PNAC documents, and that is
    to gain control over oil and strategic oil producing region. - Nobody
    goes to war for any other reason than profit.

    People certainly don't go around making democracies and bashing
    dictators out of the goodness of their hearts. Indeed, US has a
    consistent habit of destroying democracies that don't suite their
    tastes, such as in Iran, and the more recent attempt to overthrow
    the government & president in Venezuela. There's PLENTY of examples
    to go around of this.

    It didn't do that bad, until you bombed their mud-huts back to stone age.

    Well, at least the US seems to have gotten Afghanistan's opium production
    back to record levels, after the Taleban had eliminated from the country
    near totally. Good work, I guess we will see opium production take root in
    Iraq as well.

    Don't put words in my mouth Joe. I don't wish bad to anybody in this
    world. The fact is that I can see the real motives behind PR-talk,
    while you choose to ignore the reality and prefer to stick to the rosy
    fantasies of your government's PR-agency.

    You are living in a dark hole, Joe. You may choose to dig yourself deeper,
    but the ugly reality is still there. I really pity you Joe, 48 years old,
    and you're still incapable of thinking outside of your little box.
