oh wait... that would be the u.s. government. America, France, Britain the grandparents of terrorism. stand up and take a bow. osama, saddam, polpot, pinochet its a growing list
SOUNDS LIKE A FUN GAME! lets post all the puppet dictators in the middle east, far east, south and central america that have had western funding...
The let's post the number of people who would have died in a nuclear war against the Soviets had they gained spheres of influence in the countries where the dictators were in place.
USING THE COLD WAR AS A DEFENSE, THATS BRAVE. im not just talking about afganistan and iraq, wetern society has been building puppet kingdoms and dictatorships for over a century all over the planet. and still, even aftr the dog bites our hand, we can say" it was a nesessity of the cold war" bull shit
What's really sick is that everyone wants Saddam to suffer for his actions, but we celebrate the American bastards like Reagan and Rumsfeld who are just as guilty for Saddam's actions. I'm sure Saddam has a great excuse for torturing people, though you probably won't accept that one as readily as "Well, it was the Cold War!" *yawn*
Shane, saddam came to power in a coup. It was only afterwards (during the Iraq, Iran wars) we armed him to the teeth.
No, it's realistic. And not many of them have been instituded without the idea of stopping the USSR in mind. Would you rather have dogs bite your hand, or a bear destroy your house and kill you?
It has been around for Thousands of years... ever read The Prince? Its incumbet for a Superpower to make sure its interests are taken care of all around the world, and there have been many positives comming from our "puppet" kingdoms.
PLEASE!!!!! What a joke. Nothing helped spread the "influence" of communism than the abuses of capitalism, such as the US propping up right wing dictators to keep moderate or democratic socialist governments out of the way for our businesses to steal land and get cheap labor! Communism is the infection, capitalism without moral restraint is the wound.
