Sorry Matt, youre right about that. I didnt mean to include "all" americans,
and its even worse of me to say "americans" when I meant to say "the people
of the U.S.A.". it just seems like the popular consensus! Pres. Bush lasted
8 years right? Theres a reason they kept him in office...
But I feel like I'm being a little subtle. How about the fact the Americans
have sent armies into nearly every nation on earth? im not sure even the
arctic is safe :s
Now the U.S. wants to send its troops into Pakistan, havent even finished
withdrawing from one country, got their hand in another cookie jar (not
really sure the cookies are any good though).
It'd be really nice if they diversified their investments - set up schools
(YES, 3rd world countries really really really need schools - illiteracy is
the cause of fundamentalism and terrorism), hospitals and businesses (this
would be the final "terrorism killer" - keep people busy and keep em well
fed, "the devil only owns idle minds"? or so they say :) )! war (or just
plain military action) is a sinkhole.

again, sorry about the generalization :(
