Ugh, the Khmer Rouge, now there's an example of the closest thing to "Evil". It pretty much made the workers of Cambodia seems like crap. In comparison, I actually don't think there was ever a regime as "Evil" as the Khmer Rouge. Sure, there is the Middle-East and some areas around Central Africa but Khmer Rouge has a distinctive place. Killing anybody with Glasses because they thought you were literate, looking the leaders in the eye results in immediate death, they would collect the skulls of their corpses, and many more dispicable things.

OT: Communist governments as a whole are up there with Nazis. Khmer Rouge, Maoist China, Stalin USSR, North Korea and Cuba are most notable example. However, considering that Nazis have only had a 10-12 year reign, it makes them seem a lot worse considering that these communists countries (sans USSR) were made after 1945, more than 40 years since the establishment of the Communist ideology. If it only took 12 years to commit the same atrocities done in 40-50 years, then just imagine what it would be like if the Nazi party existed just a slight bit longer.

Alright, I'd say a major reason for the anti-Russian sentamint is because the cold war is still going on. Now sure some will say democracy was introduced and that Russia is now a free and liberal country. But if you quickly look at the freedoms of the press, and of the political opposition you'll quickly realize the communist policies of the Soviet Union are still in position today.

Now if you want to say that the cold war is not still going on. Just a few months ago Russia sent bombers over Canadian soil, we scrambled fighters and escorted them out of our air space. However you have to wonder why Russia would send bombers into Canada under any circumstances. Then how about the missile shield the US was proposing. Russia stated that any nation that accepted the missile shield would become the tragets of nukes. Russia then mobilized hundreds of missiles and aimed them at America's European allies. Then when Obama got elected he pulled back the missile shield and Russia kept their missiles in place.

Fact is Russia is still our number one enemy. (The western worlds number one enemy). Sure terrorists have quickly become our second biggest enemy. But a couple planes flying into towers is nothing close to the threat of a nuke.

^Why do you hate us? What did we do to deserve this? Honestly speaking, it's mutual... still. Peace?

//I'm too late to the thread, so no real contribution, sorry. But it was fun to read when it's gone completely off-topic (especially Kaz and Samus discussion).

I'd say it's because Americans are affraid to death of Russia. Thus it's only natural that games where you can kill russians are so popular. It's sad, but true.

Call of Duty 4 is a great example: it's like the game tries to tell people: "Dont worry! Even if Russia launches its nukes on us our brave soldiers will be able to stop them!!!". It's made like that in games and movies to calm the people down, since they are so affraid.

Kaz,

I haven't seen any agreement of when the US will leave Iraq, the Iraqis have for years been trying to get them to agree on withdrawal and the Iraqi public have been wanting it since day one. There are agreements on when the the US will withdraw a large proportion of their army but not completely (which is what the majority of the Iraqi and American people want and if democracy mattered it would've happened years ago).

To say the US didn't go in for any other reason other than control of black gold is ignorant. Your reason doesn't hold up to scrunity and no offense but quite laughable.

Yes, I know he's president of Iran, if you actually tried to read you would see I wasn't talking about Iraq alone anymore, but about the middle east. The death toll has only raised since America invaded Iraq.

Do you really think it's too hard for the people of Iraq to bring down a statue? They're not idiots you know. If you can't even bring down a statue then why would you let them run their own country lol.

I'm not looking at individual attacks, but at attacks by terrorist organisations. They may be individual for you, but I assure you they are not.

im guessing who ever wrote this only played MGS2 or maybe didn't play any MGS game at all because this is incorrect

Hmmm a question for the Europeans under us. Did you guys ever met an east European/russian who hate the USA very much? I have been to Russia, I have been to some East Eu countries and I met a lot of Russians/east europeans in West European countries but I never met someone who hated USA. Dislike yes but that is totally understandable with every 80 movie having a idiot villian that portrayed an Russian/East European citizen.

I've only been to Hungary(of the east european countries) and you don't see anyone hating Americans there.

I think East European countries have more hate for Russia then because it's not like they had a choice or something. They had to join the USSR... Well except Yugoslavia(doesn't exist anymore today) because they were freed by Tito and not by the Russians, but Tito was a communist as well(although he hated Stalin) so it doesn't really matter.

Russians make really good bad guys.
