Because the US does not even consider Ethics when invading other countries. Ethics are translated through Politics into our aggresssive interventions.<BR/><BR/>We were a young hero in a movie, handsome, defending the girl's honor against bullies. But a few months pass and now we're the Bully, a slovenly belligerent Bully.<BR/><BR/>In the same way, the US has cut a wide gash that separates us from our ideals as a nation. We used to be admired for our freedoms. Now we still get many immigrants who all have the expectation of earning wealth. They do not come for moral freedoms at all.<BR/><BR/>Your post was great.beeshma70https://www.blogger.com/profile/06382976364053015268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512362.post-69020215382474756942008-08-11T06:19:00.000-04:002008-08-11T06:19:00.000-04:00Whenever you are defending civilians there is no l...Whenever you are defending civilians there is no lack of moral capital.
