Long story short: Someone on another forum asked about how everyone felt about the possibility to play as Taliban in a new ego shooter game and kill US soldiers.
So I exaggerated a bit and said that I find it a horrible idea and that I'm on the USA's side any day, despite of my dislike for most political decisions of the Bush era. The USA will always be closer to me than a few terrorists hiding in caves, no matter how crappy their politics are. I listen to music from the USA, watch their films, have friends there and visited the country. How could I possibly wish the people or soldiers anything bad, even if I think they have no business somewhere or make horrible decisions sometimes?
So I said, I don't get how people can equate an Al Qaida fighter's life (or death) with the one of an US soldier. Which may not be very Christian of me, but excuse me for thinking that the world is a bit of a better place for every terrorist who fades away.
Apparently that makes me a fascist, who decides about who deserves to live and who doesn't...
What the hell? How can people still see the world this black and white? USA the evil imperialistic state that brainwashes the rest of the world with their pop culture and makes them blindly follow their political agenda. Hah!
Stupid cow.
