Socialist Alliance: “The US is incapable of feeling remorse, sympathy…”
Over at the Tsunami Tragedy Blog, sponsored by the Socialist Alliance of Queensland, comes another wonderful and helpful post:
Like any bully the United States takes pleasure out of destroying other people’s things. Like any true sociopath the US is incapable of feeling remorse, sympathy, or of learning from it’s mistakes. Like any true psychopath the US cannot grieve for the people of South Asia. The United States can only see bottom lines and profit margins.
Is Coca-Cola donating free Coke to the survivors? Are Reebok and Nike donating free shoes? Is Wal-Mart pitching in? Well, no. But, the United States is forming a Relief Coalition.
This is sick.
Oh, the bully must be in charge. The sociopath must have things his way. The psychopath will crush all opposition. And if you don’t want to play with him, then he’ll take his ball and go home.
News reports state that American troops will be sent into Thailand. Oh, that’s great. Another front on the war on terror? Time to clean up against the rebel Muslims in the South of the country?
I guess it’s damned if we do - damned if we don’t. A few days ago, this blog wrote, quite strongly, that we weren’t doing enough - now they’re criticizing us for sending Marines and others over there to help. A no win situation?
Hypocritical, I call them.

I’d say water is more important than coke.
