Skin Deep

From Socrates, on Sun, 26 Aug 2001 09:41:14 GMT (in response to: We Know Whose War..But!)

You armed us, you trained us, you helped build or rebuilt our villages, and you protected our people, helped feed us, and clothe us, and you gave us medical care and tried to cure some of our diseases... but you did not risk your lives for our countrymen. You didn't even want to fight the war you helped started. YOu lied to us that if we did not fight communism we would die by its hands. We fought for your ideals of freedom. You even thought you fought for our freedom.

The truth is, we fought communism together so that it would be easier for your government to bring your corporations over and exploit our labor. Think about it. This war was not for for you or for us, it was for the guy driving the BMW living down the street in West Hollywood.
