Well, its about time!
-Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the United States of making the world a more dangerous place by trying to impose its will through an "almost uncontained, hyper use of force."-(CBC News)
-"One state, the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way. This is very dangerous. Nobody feels secure anymore because nobody can hide behind international law," Putin told the annual Munich Conference on Security Policy.-(CBC News)
-"It is a world of one master, one sovereign.… It has nothing to do with democracy," he told the gathering of senior security officials from around the world-(CBC News)
You may not like that he said it, but its true. Democracy is a word the US likes to throw around when it suits their needs.
But if it was an ideal they honestly lived by how could they explain their support of dictators throughout Europe, Asia & Latin America?
Wasn't it just last year that the US refused to recognize Hezbollah as an official government? Even though they were democratically elected by its citizens.
Didn't they also just last year attempt to interfere with the democratic elections of Nicaragua, a country still struggling to recover from a US funded civil war that completely devastated their government, economy & culture. Threatening sanctions, embargoes & even violence if the citizens elected a leader who was not in favor with the white house?
Democracy? That is a concept that is only supported by the US if the outcome is Pro-American & above all, profitable.
I for one applaud Putin for standing up & speaking out. The US has gone virtually unchallenged in it's tyrannical holy war. And if you do happen to have an opinion opposing the war you are labeled Pro- Terror & Anti- Troops. This war that is not even supported by the majority of American citizens has gone on far too long.
More international leaders need to heed his example. They need to make America realize that, contrary to their own PR, they do not own the world.
