Why Do You Stay?

[Boon Mee]

It's cool, Meadish. I'm just sick and tired of the same old same old America-Bashing that never ends. That "agent" was driving at a "high rate of speed" from ALL accounts. Proven by satellite. He did not alert the authorities that he and the Italian "journalist" were going to be coming thru AND, he refused a legimate command to halt.

There is this small thing called WAR going on over there...

I would say that I'm sick of all these lies.

There is no proven that the car was high speed, bon't bullshit with satellite, this is invented by you right now.

No Halt was given and this was confirmed by US authorities.

Yes there is a WAR over there and war has to be made by soldiers not by recalled unemployed americans ....... (this is a fact)

Having said that and after having visited the Museum of WAR crimes in Ho Chi Min City, I fully support the resistance and the battle for freedom, the terrorists are the ones who can act like in Abu Gravi and being sentenced to "candies"

Unfortunaley the US Military at grunt level are not trained to a high enough degree to think outside the box. The are trained to act in a very gung ho fashion and respond aggresively. This is is out of place in what should ahve been a policing action in Iraq - that now has turned into a guerrila war. The main porblem in Iraq is the style of the US appoach shhot first ask questions later. I am sure that this will attacct some reaction from our US buddies but it is true. The Brits have made a far better job at policing the peace. This has been honed by years on the streets in Northern Ireland where a potentially war like situation was kept under control.

I do have a right to express this opinion as I worked in SA with the US forces for over 11 years. And their training was always their limitation.

Here we go...get chased outa one thread bashing Yanks and here you are at it again.

[jrincon17]

also because many tourists play with danger here in Thailand ......

If you stay away from drugs, prostitution, gambling and respect the culture of Thai people, then this place is safer than Manhattan!!!

Stay away from Prostitution ? You were only kidding right ?

Just put yourself in the best possible situations and you will be fine .

Well you won't catch flak from me, policing and soldering are two different jobs in America. The training is definetly different. I met some of these young kids in Kuwait last year, most of them shortly out of high school. I don't envy thier position. Not one that I met wanted to be there, not one of them experessed thier John Wyane thoughts and none were gung ho by any means. They are young kids who want to get home to thier famalies. These kids didn't decide that Iraq would be invaded, soldiers don't make those decesions. I feel for them I also feel for the people of Iraq.

Hate in either direction will never slove problems, the average person who pays the prices for these political decesions are now virtually powerless, as they have been through out history and will continue to be in the future as well.

So Mr. Ho Chi Min City you want to hate me because I'm an American go ahead, I don't hate you, but I assure you there are plenty of people who do. That is the insanity, people who know nothing of you, but hate you.

And to think all I wanted to know was why you liked Thailand
