Mexico has slammed the U.S. for its 'disproportionate use of force' after a boy of 14 was shot dead by an American Border Patrol officer.
U.S. officials claim the guard was defending himself and his colleagues when he gunned down the teenager on the other side of the border as he and other officers were pelted with stones.
The border patrol were trying to arrest illegal immigrants on the Texas side of the Rio Grande river near El Paso on Monday night

When you paste a message or an answer, it it pasted at several places. I experienced it when I asked a question, a few seconds after publishing the question, there were already answers which were not relating to the question.

Nothing really has changed. It seems most people just post out of boredom or to make points ;)

The Crusades and the Spanish inquisition are part and parcel of our history.

Murderous crimes are committed by all, no matter what their religion. Some use religion as an excuse to justify their actions.

The murder of innocents in Afghanistan is being carried out by all sides. The suicide bombers in Afghanistan and Pakistan are Muslims themselves.

So, please , let's not be self righteous. Murder is Murder.

'the masses looked forward to the muslim arabs to come and liberate them from the wretched situations'

you're so funny. That is the best deluded line I have ever heard. That's like saying the Indians were waiting for the British to cone and rule them so they could be granted the gift of cricket.

There really is no point talking to you

The Islamic campaigns did not target civilians at all.. the conquered became conquerers themselves which which the Islamic world expanded so quickly..i.e. the masses looked forward to the muslim arabs to come and liberate them from the wretched situations.

I am not talking about the need to fight the japanese or the nazis but the mass killing of civilians by both sides including the americans

yes there are many acts of mass murder that omitted from the past including the Crusder wars and the spanish inquisition etc...

Whether or not the Americans knew it was coming is irrelevant. It was an act if agression and supplies to European allies doesn't make a lot of sense.

If you mention the treatment of the American Indians I would agree with you or if you mentioned ghe Spanish campaigns in south America. However you can do that with everything. The Arab expansion and conquest of north Africa and the levant, not to mention their agression and wars in Spain. Then there is ghengis khan (Asian if you don't know) who made killing an art form and so it goes on..

Would people really like to live under the rule of the Nazis or the japanese at that time or live their life like the people in America did?

As for the Turks and the Armenians well believe what you wish but even the Turks themselves admit the shameful act in their past.

The Europeans are no different to the americans really...and the US were fully aware that the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor so they moved all the decent ships and left the older ones to get hit..and yes it was the event that turned public opinion in the US which was isolationist to one now fully supportive of americas entry to the "european war"...and no it was not unprovoked..the US was providing support to the europeans allies...

killing millions of innocents over the years amounts to genocide in most peoples eyes except those who are accused of it..

the armenian issue is only a political matter and most people in the know - know that the reports are exaggerated just like the accounts of jewish deaths during the 2nd world war...

the point is that the european powers and the americans have more blood on their hands than the rest of the world combined!!

Not really maza. The Germans and Japanese started the second world war not the US. The japanese launched an unprovked attack against the US.

Genocide means something different. Think the Turks against the Armenians or Rwanda

By Maza• 10 Jun 2010 22:16

US has a history of committing genocide...it even tested nuclear and chemical weapons against their own populace in the 50's and 60's..

of course we know about the american mass murder of the civilians in japan after dropping 2 nuclear weapons over two cities..

we have the vietnam war...lots of chemical weapons used over wide areas and many thousands of civilians were killed

US and her allies carpet bombed berlin during the second world war...many thousands were killed...

america was involved in the Korean wars..

we have had the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan...again thousands of civilians were killed...

we could carry on but i think i made my point...

Israel is full of bastards but it doesn't mean the rest of the world is. Apology accepted. We are not here to hate each other

I must apologise in this instant. The title was meant to be in jest, but obviously I hadn't thought it through..

I do however believe that in this instant , excessive force was used - Just as Israel regularly does.

Britexpat the traitor fro m the inside. What next china tortures immigrants because the west told them to, Burma imprisons political prisoners because the british forced them, Mugabe in zimbabwe because the west put him there.....

Firstly let's hear the other side of the story. Secondly, don't judge the United States by one border patrol agent who allegedly used excessive force on his own border. Go try to hang out near the border of Saudi Arabia and throw rocks. Let's see what happens. And thirdly, don't compare the United States to Israel. There is NO comparison at all. If you want to discuss legitimate issues of human rights, etc. you don't need to go that far away to do it. Nobody's perfect!

Brit, why don't you just effing quit this BS. You are boring, predictable and seriously annoying. But hey, you know that already.
