We Are In Many Countries Around The World For One Reason....

We Are In Many Countries Around The World For One Reason CONTROL!

Whenever the US government decides to get involved with another country, whether under the guise of some humanitarian or to “protect our freedoms”, it is always for one reason and one reason only; to rape the land or it’s natural resources!

There may be religious extremists all over the Middle East, more now than ever and we can thank many US presidents for that, but the one that has motivated people around the world to want to kill Americans is President George W. Bush.

If the Bush family had not been “sleeping with the enemy” for so long, there may not have been a 9-11. If the US government didn’t turn its back on one time friend, ally and one of the many American taxpayer’s fund to do their “dirty work” (killing dissenters, genocide, destroying cultures etc) Osama Bin Laden, to name the most recent, there definitely would not have been a 9-11.

Don’t get me wrong, like above, I blame ALL prior administrations and powers in the US government for the mess we are in, but George W. Bush has destroyed much of what was in place that would have stopped a 9-11. From what I remember, Timothy McVeigh a white, American citizen and the Uni-bomber were the biggest threat before 9-11 and the Clinton administration dealt with that.

Moving beyond the pointing of fingers, (though we must look back to see what “we” did wrong, to hopefully not do it again) it seems to me we have many angry Muslims in the Middle East, and if you are not dead, dumb and blind, you can see we have many if not more Christian fundamentalists right here on US soil, that are willing to keep motivating Muslim fundamentalists to want to kill us.

How? You many ask.

PART TWO:

These Christian fundamentalists have infiltrated the US Congress, trying to change laws giving Christian special rights, the US Military, handing out bibles and prophesying to non-Christians in the Middle East and around the world and finally, most of these people want the people of the world to believe the USA is a Christian nation.

To non-Americans….this looks like a Holy War, the US government, military and people are hell-bent on destroying the way of life of anyone who does not follow their religion, and they will kill all those in the way.

The next time we in America are attacked, we must put the blame where it should be place: Christian fundamentalism right here in the U.S.A.

If you feel so moved to so something, check out the list of organizations I include below, who fight to keep a separation between church and state, NOT to make American a non-religious country, but to make sure fundamentalism of ANY religion, does not lead us to becoming a theocracy, because not all Americans are on a Holy war to kill anyone who does not follow their religion.

I spent 20 years in the military so I'll only address that point.

1. I never handed out a Bible, especially not overseas to non US personel.

2. I never knew anyone offically sanctioned who did.

3. I was briefed everytime I went overseas not to do that.

4. I knew a few people who did it on their own and were disciplined for it. Bottom line it is against policy and local laws in many places.

5. The only valid criticism that has been levied is internal (ie USAF Academy).

The last thing the USA needs to do is to try and replace one crazy religion with another crazy religion. To help all people on this earth we need to rid the world of all religions. Of course I don't recommend this be done by force but by education.

Except that in removing all religion, the people who are still bloody ignorant, tend to worship people as gods and you think religion is bad, wait till we start worshiping living gods.

Rather the world needs an Enlightenment period where religion is not scorned but needs to adapt to the modern world and modern science.

you might be correct
by jazzguitarman

I see your POV; Many people are so ignorant they must have something to worship and it is better this something is some type of so called god instead of an actual human being. This is very true since the last time I checked no actual god has given direct order to kill others while human beings do so all the time.
