i couold have named this post anything

the other day i saw something that frankly insulted me.

i saw an american women in germany wearing a t-shirt: that said,

opertation fredom,
wiping terror from the world.

now for a start , i dont mind wars, if they are balanced, in war there is no good vs evil, and she may have been hurt or shocked by setember the 11, but does she have the right to boast that her contry have been bombing another country, which is not a fair fight, and have not done what the t-shirt says because terrorism is'nt a group of people it is an act which ANY person can take part in.

she did not take part in the war,
it was a hollow victory anyway yet she is boasting about it.

think how you wouold feel if walking along the street you saw a man/women wearing a t-shirt that had the picture of the two towers destroyed saying.
operation suicide,
trying to destroy america,

would you like it,
i am trying to make several points,
they are
one that everyone likes victorys, but america has attacked another country without a chance of being hurt, bullying, that country is not to blame for that act,
if america wants to know why people are having to reaort to these acts they must look at their foreign policy.
the other is we cannot boast over things we have not done, this works with anything,
like "yes my team beat yours 3-0"
did you have any affect over the game?
did you take part?
is it "your team"?
the answert to this is no.

the final point is this, when people get to powerful they do things just because they can, look at the english empire we invaded other countroies and forced our relign on them not because we needed to but becasue we can.
america is attacking other becasue it can
look at a number of their wars,
i just feel ashamed that britain is taking up the role as cowardly friend to bully thta doesn't do anything that just points and calls names.

now it must also be pointed out that it ios natural to hate powers greater than your own,

by argument may be crude but these points need to be brought across, we cant boast that we defeated evil when good and evil do not exist in this conflict, and america should not stick its nose into to many other countries business it will only pick up enimes.
and it must not become a bully, no countryis invinsible, again look at nazi germany look at the british empire, the romans, the greeks, the aztecs, the list could go on for ages.

thank you,
and please don't take offence.
