US a hypocrite? Tell that to gassed Syrians
Play
Vilify the US as much as you want - Agent Orange, atomic bombs, world police, big bully, warmonger - but there is good side and bad side in everyone.
Imagine what the world would be like had the US not intervened in World War II. Germany had its grip on Europe, France had collapsed, the British were on their hands and knees and, tah-dah, the US came to the rescue. At the same time Japan was rolling through Southeast Asia and even contemplated taking Australia. The US thwarted all that.
Sure, the US used chemical weapons in Vietnam, but that doesn’t disqualify it from slapping Syria for using poison gas on its people. Sometimes a thief is needed to catch a thief because nobody else wants to. (Lousy analogy, but you get the picture.)
When I speak in defence of Thaksin, people say I am his flunky. Please don’t call me Uncle Sam’s lap dog. I’m just a fair man.
