That is not true. You don't know that. They are killing them with American weapons we have been selling weapons to them for quite some time. It is just easier to believe that it is not happening.
This is true, the Sudan Government issues Russian made AK-47 rifles, 7.62 Chinese ammo and Chinese made "knock offs" of the BHP Pistol

Next was this statement: And it's going to continue until people have non-corrupt Governments that at least acknowledge the human being as such, and have a functioning economies.

We ARE corrupt, there are no non corrupt governments. It is a beautiful idealogical thought and it would be great if it worked that way. It doesn't. OH then it was also the rude conspiracy theory crack.
Lack of perfection is a reality on this planet, if you can not accept that fact you are going to be greatly disappointed thru live. The difference in America is "if" you get caught you will be held accountable, unlike the majority of the rest of the world, Thats one thing America does right.


Corporate control and arm sells ARE NOT conspiracy theories. Anything anyone does not know about seems to be labeled conspiracy now a days.
If you really think Corporations "control" Government arms sales, How come Congress votes "no" on a large percentage of the proposed sales ? If they can't buy off Congress they can't have much control.



Or how about this brilliant Orwellian thought: yes, companies defend their interests/investments just like people do. Who would have thought that the people who run them big bad evil corporations would let human emotion enter into their judgments on business matters.

No one I know behaves like this. Maybe you have a habit of making your neighbors fight and kill each other so you can buy their houses. I don't know.
You protect your interests everyday, by the decisions you make just like business, thats what I meant. Someday I going meet someone on the INTERNET who has actually read 1984.

You might want to read up on the Coca Cola plant in Columbia too. They are doing such fine humanitarian things these days.

Drink Pepsi help save the world.



then you said: All the "it's America's fault, corporate greed/conspiracy" Bla-bla-bla is just background noise.

I never said it was all America's fault a fact I have repeated more than once and I don't like having my opinion dismissed as background noise.
That was generalization aimed at no one person, you choose to put yourself on that list.


next you said: I'm proud that America always tries to do the right thing, we're not always successful but we are committed to trying. There will always be people that can not be honest enough with themselves to admit all that's right with my country. .

America does not always try to do the right thing. show me. Make me a list. what did they do right in El Salvador, anywhere in Central America or even south America. What have they done right in Iraq?
How about

BILLIONS we send to Africa for Aids
BILLIONS sent world wide to fight hunger,poverty and sickness
BILLIONS given to Governments to help their people and they stand up and talk bad about us and we keep on "trying" to do the right thing.
There was a Tsunami a couple years back we gave BILLIONS & flew our choppers to deliver it.
We are always at the head of line to try and do the right thing.

No point beating a dead horse, I can't believe you asked such dumb question but I won't beat you over the head with it to hard


In Iraq we are "trying" to do the right thing, and we're in a mess.

NO YOU are not committed to doing anything. The young people of the arms forces are the ones that are committed. Have you or your children served their country? You are so ready to put "boots on the ground" in Africa are you or your children prepared to go?
I don't want to debate my honesty,so let's just leave this at, Thank-you for all your family has done.



BTW I am a very honest person I know exactly what is right with my country its called the Constitution it sure as hell isn't Michael Bolton or any other member of the bush administration.
Your judgment is so blinded by partisan hate that a good man (Bolton) can't help. Maybe someday you'll love the people of Darfur more than you Hate Bush.

What's right with my country? Oh well I don't know... I think the elections went rather well don't you?
For me great, I make money either way. For the people of Darfur our election results were their death sentence.

I don't want to get in a flaming war with you. You have your opinion and I have mine.
I'm not "flaming" you, we're debating, toughen up, listen up. I'm not going to hurt you
