US government Options

[Respudious]

How many of you feel like you are highly educated on our government? Do you feel like imperialism has dominated the inner-workings of our government and it is the interest of top corporations that reign supreme over the interests of the people nowadays? What are your feelings on the Wolfowitz Doctrine? I'm sorry for all the questions but recently I have devoted time to trying to uncover the other side of our war policies and it's startled me. I feel like our nation has been misled greatly by the inentions of our government. I saw in another post that someone said only 28 civilians were killed so far this year or something like that? Fallujah was a massacre!! Soldiers were told any person walking was an enemy target, and this is from the first hand testimony of a soldier himself. Don't take this as an anti-american rant because I love our country, yet I feel there are flaws within our country, mainly foreign policies. 9/11 was a pain inflicted by our own country! If you are offended by this I'm sorry, but all the facts point to this conclusion. What are your feelings on the government, and how did you reach these feelings?

well I hope I didn't scare away any potential debaters if this is a subject over your heads, or hopefully you debaters are just gathering up your ammo by doing research which I encourage, because this is not a subject to come mis-informed on.

^ And do you have anything intelligent to contribute yourself?

In response to this thread:

(1) I realize that politicians don't always make moral decisions. Yes, I believe that the Bush Administration used the attacks immorally in order to further its neocon policies. However, accusing the Bush Administration of "falsifying attacks" is paranoid and frankly ridiculous. You're basically implying that everyone in the Bush Administration had the incentive to destroy one of the most important buildings in the world and deplete its human resources just to further a political policy? Frankly, some members of the Bush Administration were not as neoconservative as Bush, and they certainly would not have such an incentive to inflict pain upon its own citizens.

(2) The sinking of the first USS Maine before the Spanish-American War (not the Mexican-American War) has been widely debated; it is in no way fact that the US government inflicted such an attack upon itself. I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the information that you claim others to be ignorant of.

(3) You say that your statements regarding 9/11 (e.g. cell phone calls, steel, etc.) are "facts." Do you have a reliable source, other than 911busters, which was created for the sole purpose of criminalizing the Bush Administration? Personally, I am not convinced.
