"the most powerful military force in the world"
"the only one that has ever used nukes"
 the one that invades countries"
"despite international outcry"
"the one that says it's fighting for freedom"
"while it locks away it's own citizens and censors it's press"
"the one that develops, markets, sells, and uses weapons of mass destruction"

i try not to insult people by calling them "trolls" because it is counterproductive to a discussion but - you are an idiot. there is so much garbage you just spouted out that i don't know where to begin. theres a false high moral ground you gleefully take by 'attacking the man' when you obviously don't know shit from shinola. without living under a totalitarian regime you are without any knowledge of what it is like and like a buffoon, you attack the freedoms you are allowed by democracy... demoicracy that had to fight through challenges like an attack by a twisted sadistic regime like Togo's Japan. A regime that spread bubonic plaque on innocent people and performed ghastly human experiments.

back to the history books for you!

i can only assume the mention of Palestine set you off. I have a beef with Palestine it is true. the beef comes in two words - Kurds and Tibetans.

Both are a noble people who suffer from having their land occupied. Both have people disapear off the street. Both are robbed of their culture, oppressed, denied liberty or equal rights and denied a country of their own much like the Palestinians. Thing is, neither uses suicide bombers. The Kurds are even smack dab in the middle of terrorist centra, but they are human.

The Palestinians were given what they wanted in 2000. they were offered a bigger country than ever offered before with internationally recognized borders and a seat at the UN. Clinton called their bluff. Why? Because even if they weren't happy with the offer - ironing out an agreement means making a counter offer and they didn't even do that. They saw they could get what they asked for and they walked away from the negotiations- because (!) what they really want is to exploit and kill their deprived people(the children most of all) and call them 'martyrs'.

I ask you: WOULD THE TIBETANS OR THE KURDS TURN DOWN THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND A SEAT AT THE UN?

The Palestinians hold the key to the first step in bringing peace to that region, but it is so obvious that they do not want it. Israel are bastards it is true, but the Palestinians are monsters- how can you in good concience turn away from peace?

The Tibetans and the Kurds deserve better and the Palestinians get what they get.
