gt *can camp* There seems to be the idea that America is homogenous in thought
and action. To say the government is bloodthirsty shows you have no knowledge
of America. Government is not just the military/executive faction, it
includes the legislative and judicial branches as well. It's just another
example that blanket statements don't come close to describing the situation.
I am not saying that I agree with war, actually I would prefer us not go to
war with Iraq, not because I think we will have major casualties, but I would
rather us use our finances to take care of ourselves. Speaking of using our
finances, did you know the US is the largest contributors of foreign aid
(those used to feed poor starving people from other countries - yes the evil
US).
