Why the Sam Hill does American courage, blood, sweat, tears, and treasure have to be called on every friggin’ twenty minutes to pull some blood-soaked pride of predatory madmen off the jugulars of some pitiable flock of defenseless peasants, when all that is required for them to save themselves is to jamb a few pointed sticks into the throats of a few tyrants? Why don’t they, themselves, take the losses needed to do that? And why do they object when we have to cut the wolf open fo save ‘em?
Twenty madmen will eagerly kill three thousand innocents; but, throughout most of the world, three thousand innocents will generally fail to resist twenty madmen. Yeah, I understand the effect of fear and mass on cowardice and courage, and I understand how one’s immediate society affects the state of fear and perception of mass. What I don’t understand is why the “American” view (for over-simplicity’s sake) is so much different than for most of the world. I’m beginning to think that’s really why they hate us… and why so many of our despicable countrymen agree with them.
Discuss.
[My 2¢: the answer lies in the unique American Culture.]
