Comment American suggests US govt - no better than Sadam's (Score 3, Insightful) 432
Do you honestly believe any governmental system can be much different?
Do you honestly believe all governmental systems are the same?
So you are saying that all governmental systems are the same? So the US and its poodles have replaced one "shady", "perhaps amoral" government in IRAQ with another one, that's no better?
Next you'll be saying that the torture and rape perpetrated by Sadam's thugs is being continued by the US.
You'll be saying that the US govt is the same as the Nazis with it's concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay - come on get with it, concentration camps are so last century.- ok I'm making your point here.
BUT just because the US is run by xenophobic, oil funded, religious extremists, doesn't mean the whole world is.
There are better forms of government than the system that the US (+poodles) is trying to force on the rest of the world. Many European democracies are more democratic and less ruled by money than the Land of the Free. Our governments still lie and we do have the odd bent copper, but in general we live in far less of a police state than the US.
I've had several dealings with the police and they've always been very friendly and polite even when I've been unloading computers from the back of a car at 3am. This is in stark contrast to what I hear about the US police who seem to aggressively harass people for such subversive activities as walking. Jay walking, wtf is that? If I want to cross the street and it looks safe I cross, seriously I don't understand. I've even heard of several accounts of Europeans being harassed by US police for walking on pavements in residential areas - you need a permit or a car or something.
So yes I do believe governmental systems can be different and furthermore they should be different.
