Average Americans
Stand Behind Their President In Covering up Abu Ghraib torture
"President Obama said on Wednesday (May 13, 2009) that he is seeking to block the release of photographs that depict American military personnel abusing captives in Iraq and Afghanistan, worrying that the images could "further inflame anti-American opinion."
See below how the Average American supports his/her President, in trying to sweep America's dirty laundry under the carpet.
What's funny about all of this is the idiotic American assumption that the rest of the world is as ignorant about America's terrible record of human-rights abuses, as the Average American is.
In fact, the world is already painfully aware of what America's track record of torture and oppression is. So Mr. Obama's trying to clumsily censor the latest set of torture photos is the proverbial "locking the barn door after the horse has left" situation.
None the less, you can see from the above poll, how seriously Americans take their often-proclaimed devotion to "freedom of the press", "transparency", etc. -- they're all in favor of showing the facts; that is, until the facts don't show their actions in a favourable light.
Try to imagine the Premier of China, refusing to release photographs of what's going on in Tibet, on the grounds that showing these to the world would "inflame anti-Chinese sentiment", "putting Chinese forces occupying Tibet, at additional risk".
Then, change "China" to "America" and "Tibet" to "Abu Ghraib". You get it, now, don't you?
The lovely "progressive" Barack Obama, is now trying to (again) brush the truth about Abu Ghraib under the rug, just like George Bush did.
Ask yourself: If Obama really wanted to make a significant change in America's way of doing business -- if he really wanted to 'come clean' on what America has been doing to the world, over (at least) the last 8 years, then why would he be trying to censor the pictures coming out of Abu Ghraib?"
"Chinese forces occupying Tibet"?
which China does this author mean anyway? ROC was China, PRC was China also, and Tibet belongs to this whole China same as Taiwan does as always. Don't you understand what a government in exile is supposed to do? What rights do they have to dispute?
It's ROC's decision to retreat to that island meaning they have given up, thus it's legitimate that they have no rights to claim anything anymore no matter what bitching sentiment people try to bring up. Don't you understand what IS defeat? Why couldn't they run abroad like lama did instead?
Being defeated is nothing wrong. What's disgusting is the street whores' behaviour to team up with the west who also drools to have their own portion of flesh out of China, by using lowly defames expecting to undermine what does not belong to you.
That's fucking ridiculous to see once more the same old stupid deluded claim that has been sung so many years once again.
Also comparing "China" to "America" and "Tibet" to "Abu Ghraib" to talk about US's own shit they've done in land doesn't belong to them is the most stupidest comparisons I've ever seen in my life. Fucking ignorant piece of shit.
