I've been avoiding the news the last few days because I just didn't want to hear all the nasty poo poo and get further depressed. I just turned Fox News on and thankfully Shep was passionately pleading to his guest (and by proxy his viewers) not to "lose themselves" and "change what it means to be America" by giving in to fear and anger. I love that man. I continue to have no idea how you're still employed.

Dapper_Swindler posted:maybe, the biggest problem with the iraq war was cheny/bremer/etc outsorced it all to bored wallstreet execs and liberty universty interns. they tried to treat iraq as a test bed for all their economic/social bullshit. so they basically fired the army (which was the glue of alot of iraqi unity) and fired everyone in goverment and tried to privatize everything. they also didn't listen to the CIA or any intelligence branch at all because they were negative naciess who called them out on all this dumbshit. they hired people based on republican party loyalty/loyalty to the mission rather then skill or expertise. tons of other stupid awful poo poo too like not learning arabic, listning to obviously corrupt pieces of poo poo and not learning iraqi culture. basicaly dont do any of that poo poo. listen to experts and people on the ground. don't completely destroy the government, This is some delusional War Nerd bullshit right here.

Yeah Japan always had a pretty positive reputation among white supremacists that only went briefly out of style for WWII. I recall reading the memoir of a half-Chinese woman whose fiance wanted her to claim to be half Japanese because it would make her being Asian more tolerable.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Yeah Japan always had a pretty positive reputation among white supremacists that only went briefly out of style for WWII. Yea more or less. China got to be the land of crazy barbarians to these kinds of people, Korea was seen as full of stupid farmers who are too busy being beaten up by everyone else for their lunch money to matter, and the rest of Asia other than India may as well not exist. Japan's the only Asian country that crazy racists will do the whole 'well ok they're not WHITE but yea they're ok,' thing.

Reconstruction worked in Japan because they submitted to the demands of the occupying force and embraced capitalism. This isn't hard to understand.

It was also a homogenous society before the war ever started. The Middle East is not; its population is segregated by religion and then even by family/tribal loyalties.

Also the US occupation of Japan was completely justified and the world recognized it as such including Japan's leadership. Like reading some of the posts in this thread you'd swear the US went all post-9/11 on the poor, hapless Japanese.

On the drive home I heard both Hannity and Master Shake talk about Obama embarrassing himself at the press conference today. I just watched the CNN clips and I'm not sure if I'm missing something. Did something specific happen or are they just mad about the usual state of - Is president/- Is black/- Does not want to send more Americans to die/- Did not execute Muslim children with his bare hands on camera?

Conservatives are not feeling very humane at the moment, and do in fact want to bomb every standing structure and cluster of humanity in Syria, they did a bad thing and must be all punished.

Yeah, they're pretty much just mad that Obama isn't blood lusty enough. Like, didn't Ted Cruz explicitly criticize Obama for worrying too much about innocent casualties? Its straight up blood lust.
