Message: [QUOTE="JSH, post: 3619207"] The United States and Britain never left colonization, they just pretended and shifted strategies, which is what great wealth allowed. The reality that nothing had really changed was impressed on the world with the war against Iraq, under false pretenses, where the occupation still continues. The Iraqi lives are considered so worthless in this country that most Americans have no clue how many Iraqis have been killed though the number of US soldier deaths, maybe about 1/25 of the Iraqi civilian death count, is continually pushed in the news. Class still matters. Some people are considered less than others and their death is hardly worth mentioning in the countries that dominate the world and claim to be democratic, but what happens when the Iraqis try to get the US soldiers to leave? Their president said he'd give a timetable and was pushed back. The Iraqis are never allowed to vote on it. And this country continues to claim to be a democracy as the new colonialism is about lying. There are two ruling countries of the world today: The United States and Britain. And if you doubt it far enough, cross them far enough, they will kill you to remind you who is absolutely in charge. James Harris [/QUOTE]
