Obviously, that would be even worse. Better to be subtle at least.
It is worse by being more cost effective and easier to defend? I'd rather not pay any attention whatsoever to 'country borders' and to only have the military defend the resources we want from the area. Subtly has the effect of the masses not knowing why we are there, and most of them complaining about it.
Quote:I have no problem with America acquiring oil to fuel itself. The whole world runs on oil. Everyone needs it. But, the way they have been going about achieving this is unfair because they have caused a lot of instability in the Middle East countries. Even the news gives us this very indication; as the gas prices soar because of what is happening in the Middle East, there are talks about finally using American oil reserves.
Oil companies *want* prices high, because they make more money that way. I'd rather America drilled the oil and sold/used it itself. Taxing others to do stuff and then buying it from them is just stupid. Most powerful military on the planet and we can't even seize the assets of the rich and make use of it.
Quote:If you know Muslims you'd know that the first thing they would say is that its ironic that (1) America tried to push for democracy using force, (2) that they did it for the oil and having a stronger presence in the region, and (3) the governments that they propped are illegitimate and corrupt, just like other western propped governments from generations ago. America waged war and conducted an aerial invasion and occupation for lies that cover their true motives.
I agree that it is ironic... and it isn't fooling any of the power-players. I can only hope that its paying off, and somehow I doubt it.
Quote:To say it was done for democracy is silly, and whether you agree with that or not, this is how the rest of the Arab/Muslim world perceives it.
And why aren't we being run by them yet?
This has something to do with the Arabs not having the world's largest/strongest military, i think
My source of venom today is almost fully from my Silicoid people being repeatedly butchered as I struggled to defend them from psychotic alien powers that pretend to be at peace while they send ten death fleets into my space. I'll be happier by tomorrow

Hitler occupied territories, he didn't exterminate those within. And he suffered endlessly from the intelligence and resistance provided by various underground members of the populace. Exterminate the people and there is only the resistance of corpses. You could always extradite them or put them to work in a forced labor camp (holocaust nothing). Just get them out of there.
Germany would have done better without Hitler in any case. And are we seriously not 'over' world war 2 yet?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
