Has America lost the plot?

Debates


As America flaunt their own laws by holding prisoners in another country so they can torture them, pay security companies in Iraq to assasinate people, and pay for South American Coups - the Head of the FBI Strongly objects to The Scottish Justice minister "Showing Compassion". It seems that threatened to kill a suspect's children and sexually assault another's mother is good justice. It seems That torture is good Justice. When their own police force "act stupidly", where do the Americans get off telling the world what is right or wrong?

Well, Americans don't seem to have a problem telling the world what's right or wrong. I guess turnaround is fair play every once in a while.

Do you think there's anything that America could do that it maybe should feel the desire to apologize for? If so what? If not, why not?

I'm not referring to anything specific that may have happened in the past.

SURE!! It might begin by apologizing to its citizenery for ignoring the majority who oppose the NHC plan or for following the lead of the socialized European countries by copying their health care plans or cap and trade legislation. It could begin by apologizing for forsaking the role of leadership within the world. It used to be that the world copied the US in terms of culture and political direction but now it seems all we can do is the opposite. In fact, they might also want to apologize for mortgaging the countries future away via massive amounts of debt. Many call these things progressive but I call them regressive.

Having said that, I am sure you were talking about international matters instead, no? Well of course, the US has done "bad" things around the world. In fact, what country hasn't? The bottom line is, the more power and influence you have in the world the larger the potential for abuse. Perhaps we should then focus on the unthinkable!! Thats right, perhaps we should focus on reducing the size of the monster federal government in the US that has such a destructive potential around the world in its grasp? To do this, I say we begin by aboloshing the federal income tax. What say you? How about we put the beast on a much needed diet?
