Actually, I am a retired air force officer with over twenty years of service in the USAF and a degree in history from university, but I see you are yet another Indian who whines like a small child about how horrible and unfair the West is....while you are living fat off of it's prosperity in Canada. You are all amazingly consistent in your hypocrisy.
You must be such an insecure, sad little man. I feel sorry for you. And it isn't chest beating. It's the education that someone like me, who used to be very pro-Indian and very much an advocate of mutual alliances and relationships between my country and the developing world and who liked traveling and getting to know people from other cultures, has gotten from anti-American hypocrites like you. I now understand how misplaced any sense of friendship or alliance with countries like India really are. You can be as anti-American as you like, but I will make every political effort to ensure that it is no longer on my dime. I now understand my countrymen who bemoan any alliance with those, as they put it, who wish us no good and even harm, who suck off our wealth and our protection, (just as you do in Canada, btw.), while endlessly complaining about us. Who constantly shout how great their countries are compared to America...but then leave them for places like Canada because even they know the real truth of the matter. I am slowly getting an education on how America needs to shut down it's borders, severely restrict immigration, and put an end to any foreign aid and defense agreements outside of NATO, and look out only for Americans and no one else. Thanks for that. I am much wiser now.
Again, I thank you for opening my eyes. You have helped me see the light and move much further to the right, politically. America for the Americans. You may have Canadians fooled while you suck off their tit like a hypocrite, but I won't be fooled any more. And oh, you really need to work on your English if you are going to live in Canada. "You will have died old age", may have cut it back in the country you abandoned, but most Canadians would prefer if their citizens didn't sound quite so ignorant.
Not entirely. Many Americans certainly advocate the policy you state. That is why they want to shut down our borders, end all foreign aid, end our security assistance to other countries and look out only for ourselves. The guiding principle of American policy for about a hundred years now, has been to defeat totalitarian states like Nazi Germany and the Soviet Empire and promote as an international standard, democratic government, individual rights, free trade, market economies, the rule of law, etc. We most certainly have not always lived up to those ideas, but that has been our guiding principle and why organizations like NATO, the UN, etc. had our support. I used to agree with that but I have since been changing my position to the one you espouse. Perhaps it was a mistake to ever promote, however imperfectly, such policies. For the most part, now, I think they are not appreciated nor wanted. It has fostered even greater anti-Americanism and has cost the American people both blood and treasure in trying to fight for ideas and in countries where neither the ideas or us, are wanted.
Oh, not a superiority complex at all. To the contrary, I now see things as many on this very forum have taught me. I have had the idealism purged completely from me. I have been told repeatedly that no country has friends or allies, just self-interest. Just exactly like India, yes? Surely you are not arguing that India is morally superior, right? That is what you have accused America of and so you wouldn't be arguing that, yes? So you say that when America has acted in her interest that it has cost Indian soldiers lives. My answer, given my new, completely non-idealist approach is...who cares? That is your country's problem, not mine. America should act exactly like India or Pakistan, or China, etc., and so just as they could care less who their policies kill if it's in the national interest and just as your country could care less if your policies kill Pakistanis, if you deem it in your national interest, then why in the world should we Americans give a damn how many Indians die because of ours? Fair is fair. I used to think our countries were allies but posters like you have convinced me of that folly. So don't complain, just realize, we are NOT friends. Our countries are NOT friends and I only now care about American lives. I could care less what happens to your people. They undoubtedly hate America and blame her for all their own problems, in any event, just as you have here, so why should I care what happens to them?
