Default Wesley clark just entered the race



You would be well advised to use the freedoms given to you and Norway by
American blood and material wisely. And that should probably include at
least not bad-mouthing those that gave, so that you can preen and revel in
your freedom...


Freedom isn't and wasn't yours to give. Yes there was a war, and yes,
the wellbeing of many countries was in jeapordy, including the USA, from
the actions of aggressors during the second world war. But please do
not try and take some kind of moral high ground about selfless actions.
More than 30 million people died in that war, of which 285,000 were
American. That was people fighting for their freedom, experiencing
invasion and occupation that has impacted on their psyches for
generations. It seems to me many Americans need to travel more, and
actually find out what the rest of the world is like. Even President
Bush had not stepped on foreign soil when he became president.
Unbelievable for such an influential person on the world stage. The USA
has been acting like a big baby in a sandpit, grabbing all the toys
because it can. Listen to yourself "you would be well advised to..."
Big bully. You don't have a clue what other cultures are like, all you
see is some strange sanitized version of what your media manipulators
want you to see. Wake up!!!
