Try living in Isreal or Ireland dodging bullets and car bombs and riots. Who supplies these weapons? You do. Ever wonder why a roll of TP cost's $50 in the pentagon?

Most Americans know zilch about current world affairs, yet still vote, and those votes are still made into policy, wrongs it may be, and those policies hurt others all over the world directly and indirectly. I've found that Americans get more poorly recieved than Canadians(I have dual citizenship and travel as both), simply because they know less about what they, and through them thier nation, is doing to others, and it rightly ****es the others off. This is the problem with democracy, and this is the problem with America. Now you know why terrorists came after you in such a way. It was the only way to get your attention, and in doing so, validating them and drawing attention and recruits to them. Now the terrorists have gone underground to train the next generation, who will do even more harm, and the next, and the next. America cannot stop it.

I felt like ranting, so sue me.
