Most Americans are hot-blood...

Hi all, A story comes after my previous post in Lounge http://www.codeproject.com/script/comments/forums.asp?forumid=1159#xx1335664xx[^] In a stary night, the US troops dropped a laser-targeted bomb to a house in California US, coz the army has intelligence about a terrorist hiding in the house(actually no one can confirm whether the intelligence is accurate or not). The house-owner, who is an innocent American, have all his 17 family members, including children, womens, killed under the attack. Fortunately, the house-owner was not in the house while the attack and survived. As most Americans are hot-blood, he stood out to blame his US government, not just for himself, he think he need to stop his government to do such thing again and again, and to stop more innocent life being lost in the future. In his belief, his government are created and run by the US citizens, and the government can only act on behalf of its citizen, so the citizens should responsible for what the government did. And US citizens should regulate what their government did. He starts to make noise about his complain, he choose to post on the codeproject forum about his belief and concern, and to arouse other americans belief also, so they can together regulate their government by making their noise louder and louder... But to his surprise.... he get many negative feedbacks from non-Americans as follow, - one Canadian response that the American should tolerate what his government did to him, coz it is just a mistake, and told him that he should allow this mistake happen again and again....coz the US government is created and run by US citizens and the army are all their childrens and go to war voluntarily. - one Pakistanian told the American to forgive his government coz US has donated a huge sum of money to Pakistan after earth quake - one Sweden advise the American should not post such silly message on American website coz the CIA will find him soon... - one Japanese said that all Americans and US government did many good things to the world before, so US government are qualified to kill their citizens by mistake again and again... - some Europeans response that the American are morons, retarded or idiots.... that's all :((

The problem here is that you've not given any thought to your approach 1. Saying 'all Americans are XXX' makes you a racist 2. Assuming that the people who died are innocent only shows your bias. They may have been, but how do you know ? Answer: because you've already decided, because you hate Americans. 3. Shooting off at the mouth as you did, without providing any clue where your info is coming from will of course anger people. You showed yourself to be a racist, and worse, you called on God to punish all Americans. If you had acted in a rational, sensible manner, you may have got a more friendly response.

Anyone deserves to be considered innocent, untill there is at least any small indication. There is an indication that some people in that village protected the terrorist, but this doesn't incriminate the victims.

I'd attribute it to the rage of the moment. I would feel very furious and fragile also, if it happened to my compatriots. Wouldn't you?

Right again. Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons. Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970) Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles. George Jean Nathan (1882 - 1958) Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Samuel Johnson (1709 - 1784)

I don't know the details, but the fact is, none of us do. It's all to easy to assume, is all I am saying. Does anyone really believe the people being hunted here would not try to hide behind women and children, or try to paint the US in the worst possible light in these situations ? I'm just saying, we don't know for sure.

To be honest, I worry when, for example, the Schappelle Corby trial was happening, and most of hte country seemed convinced of her innocence. I'd want more information before making any judgements, as I did then. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

I have been to USA and in general, Americans are peace loving and nice people. But the government is just the opposite.

So, in essence, you said that anyone who is not white is not a true American. See what happens when you start nit picking ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

No, what I am using is the popular image of an American. Which to me is a white guy. And since whites make up the majority in the US why not. Nunc est bibendum
