Don't worry too much about "security procedures" friend, nobody really cares that much about security, remember, Americans are lazy
You know, until you attack our citizens. *cough* Japan *cough* Pearl Harbor *cough*
Centuries upon centuries upon centuries of brutal British imperialism *cough cough*
Maybe we should all just kill ourselves now, because its not just America, the whole world is fucking crazy
Know that story well. Half my family in India won't stop bitching about the English taking over the country. Yeah, well, if it wasn't for those "goras" then India might have taken another 5 centuries to catch up to the West considering many of India's modern commodities are a direct result of British interference. Of course, logic and proof never works.
You're right, you know, how about this, when we think that a country isn't advanced enough, we will just roll the troops in, take the fucking thing over, and then ask them to thank us.
Nice logic there.
The British had little resistance taking over. One, they destroyed the cultural backbone of India. Two, they set the religions against each other. Three, they manipulated the prices into fighting each other. By the time the official "take over" began, the sub-continent was already so weak, that it took no effort from the Brits.
Also, remember, India wasn't a country back then, it was a REGION, ruled by warring princes. India would still be that today if the Britishers hadn't come in.
Third. Thinking was different back then. The Britishers wanted to spread technology, wealth, and culture to the places they called colonies. They wanted to rise people out of backward ways. They screwed up. But the intention was a good one.
Fourth. What you described " You're right, you know, how about this, when we think that a country isn't advanced enough, we will just roll the troops in, take the fucking thing over, and then ask them to thank us." No one has done this in decades. There haven't been countries with true imperialistic goals since WW2.
Fifth. If you were talking about Iraq or Afghanistan, then you have the wrong information. Britain was looking for colonies to increase its wealth and empire.
The U.S. went into Iraq
1.) Saddam was a major supporter of many Anti-American militants before the war
2.) Iraq was a base of operations for Al-Qaeda. Not much as Afghanistan, but still there
3.) Saddam still harbored anti-America feelings after the Gulf Wars. We would have left our backs open if he was still in power. A part of Hitlers down fall was because he fought a war on 2 fronts. Cut his army's power.
4.) It was rumored that he had WMD'. We proved this wrong, yes. But remember, If we were in Afghanistan, and he launched a Chemical or Nuclear weapon, our soldiers were screwed. it was a case of "Better Safe Than Sorry."
The U.S. went into Afghanistan because
1.)Al-Quida HQ was stationed there.
2.)Bin Ladin was there.
3.)The poppie fields were the main source of Al-Qaeda's income
4.)Large number of militants were stationed there
In neither case, did the US plan to establish an colony or mine for precious material. Never have we asked them to thank us.
You argument is now worthless.
Give examples next time
