Here, in Argentina, the first thing that pops out in your mind is: 'U.S., uh? Who cares. They deserve it. They fuc.ked up almost every country on the world and they are still doing it. They dropped bombs on Bagdad and no one said nothing. Come on!, they sure deserve it. They dropped H-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Their C.I.A. helped the Army of many many Latin-American countries to reach the 'Presidence', and then started talkin' about how idiots and mean Latinamericans were for having an Army on the Presidence. So, fuc.k the U.S. They are a bad country'.
Then you remember that your ex-president is currently in jail, waiting to go to the Court under the charges of selling weapons to Croatia and other countries in war. And you start to get a little perspective.
More than 10.000 persons died for sure. Some numbers talk about more than 5 thousand people. And they were innocent.
None of them dropped bombs on Japan, none of them dropped bombs on Bagdad, none of them helped Armies to rule several countries. Probably, a lot even weren't Americans.
I myself didn't sell any weapon to Croatia. Who did? GOVERNMENT. People we choose for ruling on us. People we choose for protect us.
The flag doesn't matter. A mother****er of the government here is as mother****er as a mother****er from the U.S. That's here and in Mars. (The same thing may apply to most rich people)
That people don't care how many people die, but how much money they have in their wallet. That people will make you believe anything they want you to believe if that makes you give them money or power.
For using an American example, everyone (they) always hated black people. Racism. You get the idea. But then, whoa, Viet-nam War: Go die in the war, black dude! You are as American as I am! Go there and prove it! Die in a war that doesn't belong to our country so I get more money! Go on!
-insert diabolic laugh here-
Get it?
The point is: blame Bush, or whoever who did bad things to others. He may not be responsable of the death of many people in the U.S. ... But what about the mid-East?
And now he wants to send you to war. Haha. Good President you have. Nice guy. What is next? World War III? Nuclear attacks? How many people is going to die on the next months/years? None of the guilty people, for sure. No matter how many soldiers die at war, none of them dropped bombs on New York, nor Bagdad.
Try to get things right. It's hard, I know. It's even harder when you feel punched and anger. But is something one has to do. Who nows where the next bomb is gonna be dropped, or who's gonna die first.
There's no such thing as 'country'. Please don't start with your well-known American patriotism. If there is one thing the Argentina Republic has in common with the United States of North America, it's
the patriotism. But i'm starting to think that patriotism is something made-up by the same people who want us to give them our votes and money and want us to die in war for them.(the War have been used as a distraction for the People so many times that is almost a cliché now. For one example, you have the Malvinas-Falklands war -Argentinians stopped complaining about the Dictature and Englishs stopped complaining about low payments, just to kill each other-).
I mean, patriotism is O.K. if it makes all us UNITE, not (god), not KILL EACH OTHER!!
Do you know why the Socialism (yeah, I know: socialism, bad, red, not red, blue and white, bla, bla, bla: stop with that please, comunism may be wrong or evil but socialism is as bad as any other government policy), I repeat, (my '()'s are too long, I know) do you know why the Socialism was such a hit on the world? The shout 'WORKERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!!' had a point. An Asian opressed worker had much more in common with an African oppressed worker than with an Asian rich-oppressor guy.
Things like Goodness, Evil, Money, Power, Emotions, are stronger than countries, patriotism and flags. Oh, they so are...
So, where am I going? Be very carefull with what you hear and say and with the people you support. keep in mind who's fuc.king who.
Now, you Bush said 'coward attack', he said 'we're gonna punnish them'. Wasn't it coward to drop A.I. bombs and rockets on the mid-east? Isn't himself guilty of the death of many citizens? Coward attack? A guy killing himself on a plane, crashing against the Pentagon, considered an unreachable place, of the most powerful country on the planet? More coward than a guy pressing a button? Wake up, Bush is lying and knows it.
Now, that was just a 'war tactics insight', if you wanna call it that way. Please, get what I say. I'm not saying that terrorism is good or anything.
At the end, I just feel sorry for all the people that have died. Seriously. After all, I liked New York, through the movies and such, and technicly I'm closer to N.Y. than Bagdad (yeah, right. Like if americans cared so much when WE die). Back to the subject, lots of innocent persons have died. :-(.
I kinda hate this world sometimes...
The good thing (I hope) is that, here we are: young people of the world, chatting, wishing a better place for anyone. Let's try to have that in mind in the future, when we grow up and become 'real' Americans and Argentinians, and that way, maybe a bit more far away from each other.
Let us remember: getting farer to people like us and closer to people who wants to cheat us to give them power, using arguments as patriotism, race differencies, etcetera: BAD MOVE.
Hope you get this straight and hope this serves you for something. If you have reached this point, thank you; I know it was long, but so I hope it was worth it.
Thanks.
