  • Stop Saying 'If X fired Rockets at U.S.': It's Racist, & assumes we're Colonial
    • jojo 07/11/2014 at 10:46 am

      Well Yea, maybe we wouldn't go after canada, but we would do out best to trash mexico.
      Is it much different from how we treated Panama? only the alleged offense wasn't rocket fire but going after a drug dealer. Or going into Afghanistan for allegedly harboring OBL.
      Or decimating Iraq, after we were told that Saddam Hussein had WMD's, was in league with OBl, and that "The Iraqi dictator must not be permitted to threaten America and the world with horrible poisons and diseases and gases and atomic weapons."
      -- George Bush, Oct. 7, 2002, in a speech in Cincinnati.

      Words alone are enough for the US to go after expedient enemies. We don't need no stinking 'bottle Rockets' to inflame our racism.
