If you agree with Malacasta, then stop bashing America and saying crap like we "lost the moral high ground."

And don't patronize me when you're the one defaming my country through outright lies.

I am not going overboard when you actually have the nerve to draw moral equivalences between the USA and the world of radical Islam.
It is lost, though. Neither side has the moral high ground, it's a war and as I mentioned in my earlier post, BOTH SIDES ARE SULLIED BY THIS. Everyone that participates has blood on their hands.

Now, before you start misinterpreting me, I'll have to expand upon things to make it clear what I'm NOT saying, so that you can't go talking about wild tangents that I clearly don't agree with.

I wouldn't bother saying things like that, if there weren't so many people who seemed to think that America was the Knight in Shining Armour for the entire world.

America is a superpower protecting it's own interests.

And that is a fact, anyone can say that I am "America-bashing" because I state that fact, but really it is the truth.

Now, to temper this post with some warm fuzzies, so that you all don't get your knickers in a twist over this damned anti-America Kiwi who thinks he knows it all.

There is always going to be (at least) one big power in the world, at this time America is top dog.

As far as superpowers are concerned, America is very benign, and a overall, does alot of good.

Just because I criticise CERTAIN THINGS doesn't mean that I'm America-bashing.

To reiterate


No, I don't hate America.

Clear? Thank you.
