'Johhny' native decided he didn't want to pay rent for land that his ancestors owned or pick cotton for his white master ...
They have a history of 'invading' places with their superior 'firepower' and then become complacent .... Look what happened when the partitioned India ... The same with the US .. a bunch of guys in tunnels in Vietnam kicked them back to where they belonged ... look what they and the Brits are doing to Iraq ... some solution that turned out to be ... and as for convincing the public they had WMD so they could justify it when in actual fact they didn't ... well, what can you say?
These are the guys ruling our countries when they should really be taken out the back and executed for the turmoil, death, misery and destruction they dole out on a daily basis from their castles in the sky...
If the West didn't try and force people to be something they're not and 'conform' to Western ideals then there wouldn't be so many people willing to kill them .. It a sad day when you can't go to Bali without thinking that a bomb might go off as you're having dinner because of some fuck head in Washington whispering sweet nothing bullshit to his puppet counterpart in Downing Street ...
Whats the solution? I don't know ...
And ... if the aim is make people fearful of you then inevitably that will lead to your demise .. People who are afraid will find a way to not be afraid
The 'big guns' can't 'sort out' a smallish country like Iraq? What are the chances they can 'sort out' China?
The days when the West has it all it's own way are numbered

The west isn't guilty for fucking up entire nations just because it drew borders decades ago, ethnic cleansing, genocide, dictatorships are a reality at present because there are "natives" who commit those crimes and atrocities not because the west provide them with arms or because the west had their ancestors 'pick cotton' over a century ago.
Moral decadence from the west is based on fact rather than fiction and instead or learning from it 3rd-world countries start thinking of "payback" because of injustices that took place generations ago, to what end ?!
Instead of wining about inproper decisions of the west people should think of all the good it produced in the past 50 years, the people it saved, the science it produced, the technology it developed and the peace it aspired.
What is a western ideal ? You mean the human rights act which many countries simply can not live up to because of cultural backwardness, you mean democracy which if understood at all is introduced with violence because the old forces can stand to lose power ? If all countries adhered to the basic western ideals they would still have their cultural heritage but with the best possible guarantee of stability and peace and a much higher standard of living, once the nationalists of theworld get that in their thick skulls we can move on to an new chapter.
