Why does everyone believe in the USA that the US represents "democracy and freedom for all"?
in my native Viet Nam, you guys promoted an evil dictator named Ngo Dinh Diem who massacred Buddhists and Viet patriots, in Nicaragua you fought against the sandanistas who fought to bring democracy to Nicaragua against the Reaganite occupiers, the Contras.
you overthrew the leader of Chile Salvador Allende a few days after he won election. you were part of the assassination of Patrice Lumumba when he ruled Congo as the leader when elected by the people.
and yet…you people of America can claim to be about "freedom and democracy"? is this why the world spits on you, the hypocrisy? because for every 1 person who loves America, there are 3 who don’t.
i am not an american nor do i live in the united states
well I definitely do not believe it so I guess everyone doesn’t do they…

America is about one thing and one thing only, saying one thing and then doing the other. We do it better than anybody else.

Please see: Libertarian.
We’re run by two parties, both of them are interventionist fuckheads who support pushing their morality on others(Republicans Socially, Democrats Economically). You’ve made the mistake of moving left in response to being harmed by the so called "right". Libertarianism, is American. I love America, and what it stands for, although I hate the blind faith known as "Patriotism" most Americans love the idea of America, and they will defend it until they die, unfortunately, this idea has been corrupt by these two parties. Your blind faith in Communism is equally stupid, Communism was a way to manipulate and control people. Just as the two-party system is, we need a NO PARTY system.

I would personally be delighted if ever third world sh*thole was left to starve or thrive on its own merit.
Tsunami hit…too bad. Famine and drought…sorry, that’s your problem.
I agree that the US should tend to its own business and not lend a hand to anybody for any reason.

Don’t blame the American people for the actions of a handful of individuals.

Those were doing the cold war
The Soviets were backing up Ho Chi Minh along with other communist dictators
Some buddhist temples provided the communists shelter and foods. Diem knew that and ordered his men to search the temples for the communists and some people were killed, then the communist who disguised as buddhlist monks started whining that Diem discrimated against them and that he? was a dictator, and then thousands of buddhists went out to the streets to protest against him and grew big day by day.

We all make mistakes, but based on your obvious bias, your position is flawed. Enjoy your freedom you ungrateful fuck. If your native Vietnam was so great, then why aren’t you there?
FantomasTX | Feb 04, 2010
your opinion is very one sided.
Jimmy C | Feb 04, 2010
How!?!?! Do you define freedom and democracy? The way you discribe it and who you support did not want anyone to have freedom and want little to NO democracy. YOU have been brain washed.
Alex | Feb 04, 2010
So your anger is reserved only for the United States, why not France, a country that initially colonized Vietnam and exploited the country for its natural resources? Why not the Japanese who also took control of the country to help their war effort in the pacific? Once again back to France, who tried to reassert their colonial control over the country, why not them? You can think what you wish about the United States.

National mythology. Like rugged individualism and self sufficiency.

I don’t think we ever used the phrase "democracy and freedom for all."
It’s "Liberty and Justice for all."
