Thread: Wikileaks?

@capecoddah: I hate when people are labelled "anti-American" in that way, as if it was a crime not to love America. People who are not American judge America on the evidence and on facts, just like we would any other country.

Personally I do oppose American foreign policy, because it's been hi-jacked by financial and corporate interests after WW2, and it is responsible for the death and poverty of millions of innocent people across the world.

Many smart and educated Americans have the same view. I think the majority of Americans would change their minds if they had access to truthful inbiased information in the news (such as what Wikileaks seems to offer). Why would anyone support foreign policy that is bankrupting them and their country, makes them very impopular across the world and is generally immoral. Assange is doing you a favour! Wake up and smell the coffee!

As for American people; I like most.. The only Americans I don't like are warhawks and brainwashed aggressive Americans who condemn everybody that doesn't worship the US...

As for revelations about Russia: Definitely! But it's probably a bit harder for Wikilieaks to get to Russian sensitive information. For me, the more I learn about the corruption in Russia and incestous relations between the government there and large business, the more apalled I get. The Russian people definitely deserves better than that. If the elections are so fradulent as some here are saying, then it would be good to read about that too. And proof one way or the other about the alleged bombing of flats in Moscow by the security services.

The one thing about Russia though is that most of the negative activities that it is responsible for take place within it's own borders - this is not the case with the US.


PS - Free Bradley Manning!

Yeah, pretty much anyone I've ever seen or heard use the phrase "anti-American" has been some patriotic bible-bashing flag-waving muslim-hating republican-voting redneck. It's like when people use the phrase "political correctness gone mad". Yes, political correctness has (in some cases) gone mad, but everyone I've ever heard utter the phrase "political correctness gone mad" has either been a racist or a borderline-racist.

And you spout the junk... UK haters need a history lesson.
Anna is an American-Hater too, and changed her name because she lives in fear of the internet.

I have a computer older than most of you (1982) and on-line since 1991. I've seen the (Deleted. L.) for a long time.

Как сказал один американец: "Мне тоже не нравится внешняя политика США. Поэтому я живу внутри."
