LOL!

Oh, but it's true; if the United States and the (then) Soviet Union hadn't
spent the litterally *hundreds of billions of dollars* that took the form
of military equipment, and instead built schools, hospitals, universities,
water purification systems and.... good will.... we wouldn't have the
organisations that think we are all the same - the U.S. and Australia.

Instead, the U.S. has a memory problem - did you know that the Taliban
were supported by the U.S.? And before that, the U.S. supported the
Mujahadin?

Also, it is to be remembered that in recent years, terrorism has struck
Russia - Chechnya is only part of that and Chechnya is often the
'whipping-boy' of Russia, along with Georgia (as has been seen in recent
weeks). There have been Soviet aircraft highjackings as well.

Did you know that the U.K (United Kingdom) created Israel out of territory
it had occupied for many years?

Is it any wonder that 'we' are thrown in the same barrel as America?

I'm not saying any of the decisions listed above were wrong, but if the
U.S. in particular had not used the Middle East as a testing ground for
its military equipment (remember the C-5 flights to 'support' Israel in
the early '70's?), the rest of us would not be suffering as we are.

'We' suffer because we are friendly with America. Note that I say
"friendly" - just like all most people are with their domestic
neighbours - friendly, not necessarily friends.

Now; Glenn was not being insulting to America as that idiot
("HEMI-Powered") suggested. That idiot has been in other groups doing the
same thing - stirring up trouble for no other reason. Glenn was simply
making a comment that he was not at home. Glenn wasn't referring to
America, but all the countries he visited.

It wasn't an insult, it was a joke.
We all know that. I see in one of his posts about the election that he has a
very one sided political view. I think he's racist :-)

I like America and Americans;. I don't understand how he drew the fact that
I somehow targeted him when I recall posting images from the USA and the UK
at the same time.

Any body know which episode of Springer this Hemi guy has been on. I'd like
to see what he looks like ;-)

Now Hemi, that was a joke as well but maybe..........It wasn't ;-)
