?ignore the pictures, they're just liberal propaganda! America? War crimes? Don't be silly!
wow, you posted a couple of pictures on what america has done.

Britain is horrible!
every country has committed war crimes. the us soldiers who took those pictures are all facing life in prison. crimes don't go unpunished.
That link you found is complete BS. How can you base your accusations on that one incendent. From "Indymedia" of all places. Yes Britian has had its fair share war crimes, I'm not denying that but America in the past has shot anti-war campaigners. All you've done to google something you think is relevent and posted it it.
Without lego I would be nothing! :cry:

?ignore the pictures, they're just liberal propaganda! America? War crimes? Don't be silly!
Well, same goes for Britain, Germany and all the other Nato nations...
Germany? What have they done recently?Soldiers playing around with decapitated heads, shooting civilians etc...
But that's not the point, my point is that you can't single one western nation out like you do. Most of the major western nations are involved in shady stuff, blaming America for everything is unfair.
some soldiers kicking around a decapitated head, whilst horrible, is very different to carpet bombing of civilians or keeping prisoners of war for (5?) years with no trial, or using torture as an interroation method. One is some soldiers being stupid, the other is state sponsored war crimes.Carpet bombings of civilians?...please link this
I can't defend Guantanamo or the use of torture though...that's disgusting.
America is the worlds largest arms dealer. America has supported many African dictators.With the attitude that 'no countries are perfect America can just carry on having disgusting and corrupt foreign policy.
You do know that Europe sells more arms to 3rd world countries than America, right?
Oh and by the way Europe is not actually one countryWhy does this matter? The EU is a political and economic organization with one single market...the distribution of arms is handled by the EU.

Okay, an entirecontinentsells more weapons than one country. Very useful addition the thread. 'What i'm saying is by saying 'You do know that Europe sells more arms to 3rd world countries than America, right?' your proving my point. America can remain without blame from it's people because other countries do the same.

Why does this matter? The EU is a political and economic organization with one single market...the distribution of arms is handled by the EU.
With the EU being formed, Europe is one step away from being a single nation.
It seems like when people want to compare the Euro to the dollar they're more than happy to make it seem as if the EU is a single nation. But when it comes to something scandalous or immoral the EU suddenly becomes irrelevant.
Face it, Europe is run under a single economy with a single currency, only a few nations have control over their own monetary policy anymore. In 20 years I can see it being run by a single government, it's only a matter of time.

Yes but at the same time these nations don't claim to be the moral superior when it comes to just about any conflict in the past 30 years.. Doesn't claim that no one has any reason to be angry towards the US, and those who are, are merely jealous for our freedoms.

At one point they acted like separate nations, but they're quickly turning into one with the EU. Whether that's good or bad, we'll see.

I didn't use the argument you tried to rebuke haphazardly. First of all, I never called the US the best, though I will certainly believe it is, and your rebuke only applies if I had called it perfect. The wise do not call themselves perfect, they know there is usually room for improvement. A difference between best and perfect. There is no overwhelming sentiment that the US is a perfect nation - no one said that. But there is a sentiment that the US is a great place to live, some may even say the best. And if they did say that, that is patriotism talking, if you came in here expecting no one to do that then why are you here?
