Hardly surprising. Hasn't every single invasion of an enemy ended up bad for the locals? In Medieval ages farms got burned, in industrial ages farms got burned and food forcibly taken, in WW1/2 the civilians got bombs dropped on them, homes destroyed & economic crisis.
Yesyes, i'm trying to give a reason for why some people arent taking the whole 9/11 aspect as a sorrowful day for america when the same people butchered a bunch of civilians in the name of justice/defence/war against terror/whatever they can come up with, fighting terrorism with more terrorism, creating a bunch of new terrorist groups and/or making it much easier for recruitment.
And how would anyone take a stance on this? Better yet, why would they really take a stance. USA is the undisputed leading country in terms of military, naval and air superioty. Whilst they are bankrupt, they still are an economic powerhouse. To make an enemy out of USA is absolutely unreasonable.
Boycott and not granting different needed resources like fuel would probably be quite fatal, most of the american wares are import, no? The gaining of export in america is so thiny in comparison to what the cost of import is that it is a big problem, and the amount of fuel they use each years are to much for themselves to obtain without trade.
As for why they should: Simply care for what people do to each other and not tolerate that the people with most guns can do whatever they want against everyone else without any conseqences (spelling mistake! D:<). Much better option instead of just blaming it on the guy with a different religion because a tiny little bunch of insane ones practising something similar managed to blow up two buldings. As for profit doing this: not really a good investment in terms of money and resources but you would probably spare a few lives here and there. If the left side of america would have done something more about the iraq war then just protesting against it then that would also be greatly appreciated.
To be honest, most of it is their own doing. Something tells me it wasn't Westerners who taught them cannibalism, or taught them to rip the hearts out of children and
drink their blood so that the bullets will not harm them.
It wasn't the westerners who instigated civil wars and raped and pillaged and recruited child soldiers. That's all Africa's own work.
I thought that the borders around in africa was greated by western colonists, and that different companies are exploiting african resources today making it misserable. One example is EU with their agreement with some rich bastards (who is probably living in France with champain under his pillow) in west-african countries, the population have to buy expencive imported chickens from europe instead of producing their own, among other things, making food much harder to obtain.
in somalia, Us supported a few millitant groups there like Taliban in Afkanistan if i remember right, greating a few conflicts and a tyrant ruling goverment. I don't know much about somalia though, i only know that they have both pirates and ninjas there for shure >.>
