The Quiet American - Spoiler

[Lung]

Ned, if i occasionally seem anti-american, it's only because i don't want them getting any more ammo than necessary. The biggest world power is always going to act like a bully to some extent, so it could be far worse in the hands of someone else than the anti-americans think it is now. In fact, if the yanks buggered off and became isolationist, just think of how much worse certain world leaders could behave

Anyway, it's pretty sad that people think that the only way to counter perceived bias is to to put their own bias on things, like, well, The Quiet American, for example

Lung, I understand that people can get pissed at us because of our "arrogance." But we have a view of ourselves that we are the good guys and that we are trying to do good in the world. This is why we are surprised, shocked and saddened to see us accused of the very things we are fighting against.

No American could ever support what was portrayed in this movie. Greene seems to have some evidence that we in fact were behind The and orchestrating the terror attacks. This is why I support an investigation, even at this late date, to see what really happened.

Actually, perhaps the records, even CIA records, are now released so that we could see for ourselves. If anyone knows, could you provide a link?
