[QUOTE="Nayef_shroof"]
Your "people" instilled a corrupt/oppressive pro-western dictator to replace a democratically elected Iranian leader (Hypocritically, your country doesn't even care to forcefully/brutally spread democracy). Why? For oil (resource) privileges, at the expense of the Iranian peoples. Your "people" also supplied Iraq with weaponry and illegal biological armaments during the Iran-Iraq war, causing the death of more than a million Iranian civillians (During this time, Saddam Hussein was America's ally, so it's obviously apparent America's sole priority is about furthering their own motives, at the expense of various peoples, not "policing the world" or ensuring international security). Of course, lets not forget that America has been the only nation on the planet to sanction use of nuclear weaponry, let alone the fact that these bombs were dropped on civillian areas (Totaling approximately 500,000 civillian deaths). Regardless of the fact that the Japanese offered peace accords, the U.S. demanded for an unconditional surrender...
Need i remind you that the Iraq war cost the lives of 1.1 million iraqi civillians due to excess violent deaths and an approximate 700000-1.3 million non-violent excess deaths. A war that the U.S. argued was was justified in "promoting democracy in the Middle East" and "searching for WMDs", when in reality, the U.S. eradicated their own puppet (Saddam Hussein) that they supported and established in Iraq decades before, even whilst he committed atrocities to other peoples, tyrannically oppressed the Iraqi population, etc. The Afghan war total deaths equate to 1 million excess violent deaths, but unknown non-violent excess deaths. Compounding the debilitating effects of war that you so readily support, Iraq and Afghanistan rank amongst the lowest in terms of standard of living, with millions of Iraqis and Afghans requiring foreign aid just to survive.airshocker
Which innocent people that were taken hostage did any of that? When you can answer that, then maybe I'll respond to the rest of your post.
Nothing any of them did 'justifies' them being captured. I know empathy is a tough concept for you, since apparently you're a damn sociopath, but pissing off people, kicking them in the nuts every chance you get, they'll eventually get mad at you.
Have you ever felt, when you hear of a pedophile or murderer "Prison is too good for you" and desired to kill that person? Those are the types of emotions people are likely be feeling. This is one of the weaknesses of human emotions. Of course the prisioners Iran takes don't deserve it, but they(Iran) SURE AS HELL don't deserve what we're doing to them either. Attacking their government IS an attack on their people.
These attacks of ours, only serve to piss people off at us, keeping in power a government that is anti-American, because that's how the people in that nation feel.
What did the Japanese civilians do to deserve to be fire-bombed then nuked? Individually, nothing, they were just normal people, living their normal lives, not harming anyone, yet they were murdered by us, why? Passion. We were passionately motivated by the attack on Pearl Harbor, allowed ourselves to become irrational, and justify murder under the pretense of 'victory'. Attacking civilian populations is never acceptable, but who cares when they're emotional.
Just so we're clear as to what 'empathy' means - the intellectual identification with or vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another.
