Sorry to say, a particular poster has disappointed here. Whether because his head's become too big or because he posted with extreme arrogance and
stupidity just for the heck of it, is impossible to say. But he didn't do himself -- or Americans -- any favours.
I certainly appreciated the moderators participation.
And Agit8dChop's post is refreshing and pertinent.
The saddest, most poignant and stubbornly stupid comment, imo, is the following:
It's the job of an American president to look out for Americans best interests no matter what the rest of the world thinks.

As long as Americans believe this and apply it to their presence in the Middle East, they place themselves and their descendants in jeopardy and
condemn them to generations of future shame.
Sadly, it's only when people have felt the enemy's boots on their own land that they learn to find alternatives to aggression and war.
Americans still have that lesson ahead of them.
The US drew first blood via their invasion of Iraq.
They invited retaliation and it will inevitably come. It may come from the least expected direction.
When it does (as it will) there won't be too many tears shed by the rest of the world.
After all, it's always good to see bullies get what they deserve.
The OP is correct: zionist criminals have made public monkeys of American politicians and the American people.
Obviously, it wasn't difficult. The American people chose to believe their own propaganda as delivered in preposterous movie and tv scripts, in
which one American, jaw thrust bravely, shoots one bullet and kills a hundred of the enemy. Fade out to the saccharine strains of 'heroic' theme
music and you have the gist of the majority of US 'true war stories'.
Sitting back in Oklahoma, with a full belly and the tv delivering the latest Bring it On BS from the latest in a string of imbecilic presidents, it
must seem to Americans that they exist safely in the belly of an impregnable fortress. A 150 years ago, when ships were under sail and it took months
even to reach US shores, such complacency might have been excused.
To date, all of America's wars have taken place 'over there' and the pain has primarily been felt by 'foreigners'.
All those wars, yet the Nazis and Commies and Viet Cong have never set a foot on the good ole USA. Americans have developed odd beliefs, similar to
children who believe that if they hide THEIR heads under the covers, the boogey man won't be able to see them.
It doesn't make sense of course, but it obviously provides many Americans with a sense of security.
Those Americans who've lost sons and husbands and brothers in the 'foreign' wars know better. There's no real sense of pride or accomplishment to
be gained from the knowledge that a beloved son went to SOMEONE ELSE's country to shoot people who had posed no real threat to the US. The Vietnam
veterans learned that lesson, from their own people -- Americans.
Meanwhile, the zionist crime family despises 'Americans', whom they regard as 'yes men' and 'lapdogs' or simply, 'idiots'.
And why not? Americans have jumped to obedient attention any time the zionists have needed cannon-fodder. The Americans can always be relied upon to
instigate and fight zionist battles. Zionists smile. They regard Americans as so childishly predictable, because Americans all like to imagine
they're John Wayne.
And the zionists know that American politicians are so GREEDY ! All it takes for the zionist crime gangs to have US politicians in the palm of their
hands is old-fashioned carrot and stick.
Big bunch of carrots, consisting of plump Swiss bank accounts, holiday homes in the South of France, some free first-class airline tickets, a
silicone-filled call-girl or two, or perhaps an oiled male prostitute. Oh yes, the US politicians go for cheap.
As for the stick, the zionists simply send the politicians an envelope stuffed with large, full-colour photographs of the politician having sex with a
minor. Odd though it seems to sane people, politicians are so vain and concerned with their 'image', that they will readily agree to consign 20,000
US servicemen to some Mid East hellhole, if in return the zionists promise not to release those incriminating photos to the media.
After that, the politicians are 'owned' by the zionists and it's up to the politicians to convince Mr and Mrs America to sacrifice their sons in
the zionist cause. And Mr and Mrs America like to believe 'God' is always on THEIR side (even though the jews also claim that THEY are 'Gods'
favourite children), so they send their sons off to fight zionist wars with a brass band accompaniment.
When young Master America returns home in a box, in pieces, Mr and Mrs America STILL insist he died fighting 'a just cause'. They insist their son
died 'fighting for our Freedoms'.
How they can CLING to such beliefs when the same president who sent their son to his death is also diminishing Americans' Freedoms by the hour and
sending Americans' jobs overseas at the same time as he's opening the flood gates to those who'll take the last remaining employment, is beyond the
understanding of the rest of the world.
Now folks say Americans are dumb, for decimating their quality of life and previous good reputation on behalf of the zionists.
Others -- those whose children have been raped and killed by Americans -- say that Americans are devils.
And the zionists refer to Americans as idiots, as 'sheep'.
Obviously, the truth, as always, must fall somewhere in the middle.
