It's Not Religion's Fault
"Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood and calm pulse to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out...and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel. ..And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man"--with his mouth." - Mark Twain.
A lot of people have tried to justify what happened in this movie by comparing it to the real world.
I like Marvelcomics and here's what Captain America said to iron in one of them. He could just as easily have been talking to the USA:
"Because he (Mark Twain) was talking about YOU (USA). YOU made this war (on terror).
You birthed it into existence by sheer force of will. And NOW look at you... king of the world!! I want to know!!
I want to know what the hell made you think this was your job to do? Who made YOU the moral compass of us?
How could you laid down with the people you've laid down with?"
And I will continue:
Do you know who these people are, the ones you've laid down with? Do they give a rats ass about you. Do they care that the US economy is down the hole while they siphon of even more of your hard earned money?
And while they're doing that, they continue to blame you for everything that is happening to them, and you, because of their evil. Do they give a damn what will happen to you?
After all, you're not the chosen people. Why should they care about you?
All they want is your money and for you to fight their wars...
And drag us, my country, down with you.
I'm a Briton and proud. And I say leave them to their own devices and then see how brave they are.
