Nazism is German Fascism, which is German Nationalism, that's all.. Hell, its no worse than Indian Nationalism. Its just what they did is bad.
And no, the Nazis were ANTI socialist, they accused Jews of being communists/socialists (because of Karl Marx I believe) and used it as an excuse to persecute the Jews, since many world powers were capitalist at the time.
Also, if the president is a retard, he's still our (regrettably) goddamn president. We should expect him to do SOMETHING, hopefully. the fact he didn't makes him a retard.
For what reason? We claimed Osama was linked to Iraq. He wasn't. So then, we decided WMD's were linked to Iraq. They weren't. Finally, after missing point after point, we just decided Hussein was a bad person. Hell, we didn't even have a reason, we were just making shit up to go to war just to please the media.
And who gives us the right to be said police force? Iraq is not our child, the world is not under our control despite the misconception created by egocentric Americans.
Also, if we did wind up putting money into health care as opposed to the useless war, we'd be along so much better.
Not to mention, this war is what Osama Bin Laden wanted us to do. We're pretty much pissing off the rest of the world, which is his entire message, "America is evil". By continuing to war unnecessarily, its no wonder why he looked down on us like such, and why many other countries are starting to look down on us like such.
I laughed at the irony of those two statements.
Anyways, all in all, I'd probably prefer living in Canada to America, so I wouldn't have to be so damn embarrassed every time my country/country's media/country's politics makes a retarded action. Which isn't a rarity.

I might not post about PP's stuff(maybe later) because I'm a wee bit lazy
Firstly, we did not go in there to make the media happy, thats complete BS, and for some reason a few of you like to pretend the media is mostly controlled by the right, there are thousands and thousands and thousands of little liberal/left signatures all over the media. ALL OVER, just keep your eyes open
And when you say please the media, Do you mean to say our president is conspiring with FOX to destroy the rest of the world?, not making a joke here, that is DUMB
Uhh... Hussein a bad person... hmm gassing whole villages... taking away almost every human right a woman could possibly have.... terrorizing the populace to keep his regime.... that had nothing to do with this decision...
Did I mention killing off thousands at a time using nerve gas?
I am sure Osama bin laden wanted us to isolate his entire fortune and force him to hide in a cave until he is caught and hung, and we really don't look bad, just our president (which I believe is debatable anyway), who will be leaving soon (IN YOUR FACE!!!)
Where are all these international citizens when you need them???
Do you mean to say, that despite the fact that we are a massive global power who controls most of North America, we aren't sharing the same Earth??? The same Economies?? WE ARE ALL HUMANS LIVING ON THE SAME PLANET!!!!
Let's not completely glaze over 9/11 here......
And I am never ashamed of my country, on the contrary quite proud, our founders realized the importance of competition in politics (and a great deal of other things)
I don't ever believe political actions are truly
dumb, it really depends on whose side your on, there are
always things about actions that can be criticized, and the good ol' two party system we have does everything they can to exploit the inevitable faults of the other, so I try not to get sucked into the bullsh*t
President Bush stopping a hurricane... the fuck is he gonna do? Tell the army to shoot at it? This is something the local government should've had a handle on well before Bush was ever in office
Sending more money to our ridiculously overpayed doctors = sending more money to our insurance companies = money that goes to lawyers, and if you wanna research it, we have approx. 7x the lawyers in the US than any other country in the world, proportionate to our population
If the money going anywhere, it should go to the taxpayers in the first place, health care in the US is an economic drainpipe
Same with the education system (at the moment)
If you honestly laughed at those and not just typed it as a petty insult, than I say you are merely ignorant, because in my eyes you are wrong in almost every aspect of that post, excluding maybe the Nazi post, because that is the same bullsh*t they fed me in History class, and I have yet to research otherwise, so I cannot totally disagree
