This activates my hilarity unit :D Here's the best answer to your tirade: "The English are well known throughout the world for their lack of political scruples. They are experts at the art of hiding their misdeeds behind a facade of virtue. They have been at it for centuries, and it has become such a part of their nature that they hardly notice it any longer. They carry on with such a pious expression and deadly seriousness that they even convince themselves that they are the exemplars of political virtue. They do not admit their hypocrisy to themselves. It never happens that one Englishman says to another with a wink or a smile “We don’t want to fool ourselves, do we now.” They do not only behave as if they were the model of piety and virtue - they really believe that they are. That is both amusing and dangerous." "Englishman" is obviously a generalized character, so no offence (though the author of the quote did mean exactly what is written here) :D I wonder if you could guess the author not using Google or any other search engine? |
I didn't know the author without Googling, I also don't understand the point you're trying to make, unless you're agreeing with me. I don't believe that the "terrorists" hate the USA because of her "virtue", I know that the terrorists hate the USA because of their "misdeeds"... which is exactly why I support a man like Ron Paul who believes exactly the same thing, and wants to stop the "misdeeds" from continuing.
The only reasons for the wars of the 21st century are the misdeeds of the 20th. It stands to reason that the only reason behind the wars of the future will be through the misdeeds of today. Reduce the misdeeds of today, and you reduce the wars of the future.
Anyway, that was kind of rushed, as I have to go to lecture now. I'll carry on responding at a later date.
