wikiwhynot?

Let me start off by saying that im extremely proud to be a citizen of the United States and would do anything asked of me to help defend it, but I have a feeling I may be in the minority in my support of the Wikileaks document releasing extravaganza they have started. I dont support the matter in which they were obtained from the low level military personnel involved, but the fact that the veil of secrecy that has been status quo for the government for decades is finally being pulled back ever so slightly, is somewhat refreshing. Until the radical anarchist who founded wikileaks releases "top secret" documents like nuclear codes or troop postions etc., then i dont mind one bit that the rest of the world discovers we talk shit behind their backs just as they do ours. While its no surprise we are the worlds leading superpower, we are also the most disrespected and hated nation amongst the rest of the population. Im so sick of our involvement in world affairs and our constant coddling of corrupt regimes who depend on us for protection but offer us nothing in return but more headaches passed onto the taxpayers. When is enough going to be enough? I could give a shit whether Kim Jong Il takes over the entire Korean peninsula and reigns hell all over the region, they offer nothing to society that could effect our nation as a whole. The Chinese need to step up and force open their slanted eyes to the situation brewing and know that its in their best intrest to monitor the chaos and show the rest of the world that although they are communist scum, they can play enforcer to a corrupt region. I hate the fact that we disperse so much of our monetary wealth to bailout other nations when we are in the middle of a shit storm here at home. I realize im fairly ignorant to the whole big picture of our objectives overseas, but if the release of some of these wikileaks papers changes the mindset of foreign dignitaries about dealing with the US, then I say Good riddance scumbags who needs ya anyway.
