Šta mislite o ovome? Bujrum, uključite se u raspravu tamo, ako mislite da treba nešto reći protiv američke demokratije ili za nju.Sarajevo, 22nd of August 2010
Why should I claim the assertion from the title? Because of many reasons!
The first reason is that 70% of Americans are against building a mosque at the place where the WTC used to be. What does this say? That Muslims are responsible collectively for the terrorist act on 11th of September? Or that Americans simply don’t make a difference between terrorists and Muslims? I’d say this is the reason.
The second reason is the war in Iraq. It has been claimed by the American politicians that Saddam Hussein has nuclear weapons, which turned out to be a complete lie, mainly set up by George W. Bush. That liar killed more than million people in Iraq, which is more than 200 times more than in 9/11 attacks. Why are Iraqi lives less valuable than American ones?
The third reason is the war in Afghanistan. The new, “left oriented” president, Barack Obama, increased the number of soldiers in this country. Even it is probably impossible to win the war in Afghanistan, at least in my opinion, Obama doesn’t give up. In one of his speeches, he talked about justification of war. It’s too sad to be true. Also, American authorities pushed to death more than 1.000 American soldiers (info from NY Times, could be more than that) in the name of war against terrorism. Probably there are more American victims, at least few thousands, which is close to the 9/11 number of victims.
Fourth reason is their “democratic” system. While they are trying to “democratize” Cuba, Syria, North Korea and, in the 80’s, Yugoslavia (the best country in the world), they have two same political parties. I would like that somebody could explain the real difference between American two party system and other one party system, which probably functions even better than this one. At least, in these countries all people have health insurance. It’s true that they cannot say what ever they want, but in the USA, if you do something against the system, you go to Guantanamo, which is much worse than any other prison in the world.
It’s probably only a matter of time when the Americans will begin a new war, somewhere where the oil is not theirs. Also, it could be some other rich country, which tries to function without American democracy and other double standard policies. When we add the IMF to this story, as the organization that controls the world, we can be sure that the USA will be the worlds´ policeman a long, long time. People will be dying of hunger in Cuba, or driving 50 years old cars, as this one on the picture, only because they don’t want the American system. You can see the everyday Cuban life, thanks to American sanctions, here.
Except these four very serious reasons, there are many of them which cannot be put in the same article, as they would be confusing. But I promise to spend one article on this subject, proving American role in the balkanization[1] of my neighborhood.
[1] Balkanization is a geopolitical term used to describe the process of fragmentation or division of a region into many smaller regions that are often hostile or non-cooperative with each other. The term has begun to be used in other contexts when describing a disintegration process, such as the of Internet being divided into separate enclaves.
