Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Reader's Comments:

There is a saying in America : “Actions speak louder than words.” You just watch what will happen in the next few months without a negative view. We will liberate the Iraqi people, give them tons of aid, give them a country where they can live freely and educate their children any way that they want; and then we will buy oil from them, which will help build up there country.

Don't believe me? Look at Germany and Japan . We took them out because they had tyrannical leaders, built them back up, and then butted out. Tyranny and government are concepts that do not go together in an American's eyes. Nothing is more hated than tyranny in America ; just ask the British if we like colonization or tyranny? People always think the worst because that is all they know in a tyrannical world.

I am American. I decide who leads us along with my fellow citizens. And I know that in my heart. I just want the world to be free of fear and hatred. I am the same, no better and no worse than a Middle Eastern person. I wish all humans best, because we are all the same. And I am not alone.

I know that no one in the world believes that America has the best intentions; but again, just watch! Actions speak louder than words. If my government doesn't act right and treat Middle Eastern people with respect and dignity, then we will boot them out of office and get ones that will. I know this concept is inconceivable to most people in the world, but it is the truth.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We were terribly saddened by the angry tone in your voice. We do not wish to cause any form of misunderstanding on either side.

The sad reality of the situation is that high politics results in the death of thousands, if not millions, of innocent lives on both sides of the "conflict." And people get swept with media "propaganda" on both sides of the stream too. The mission forus as citizens of the world is to do as much as we can to find the truth behind all the disguise laid on it by organizations merely serving the interests of the few.

If you look at it with clear eyes, you will not find a connection between Iraqi children and 9/11. It is in fact laughable to think of it this way. Yet in a way, unconsciously, we are led to believe in and approve of aggression for the wrong reasons, and against the wrong victims.
