To clarify my last post (as I calm) I am not in any way anti-US. I think we have the potential as a nation to make the whole world a better place. I don't think our military is bad at all. In fact, it's just a group of folks like any other. I don't think that the things we do are terrible or evil (a lot of it is misguided, and I am very anti-bush administration), but I do think it's beyond stupid to claim we are righteous and they are evil, inately. I hold not respect at all for suicide bombers who kill civilians. I have NO hatred, however, toward any militias fighting for what they want, or any country doing it's thing.

All the action we've taken over the past 40 or 50 years has been in self interest, with a big middle finger to the rest of the world. We topple governments without any consideration to it's people or long term effects. We bomb people who we deign 'bad guys' and we fund a similar group and call them 'freedom fighters.' It's all so twisted around and chewed up that by the time we're done that we cause more harm than good. And frankly, I don't believe there WAS any good intent in most of our military actions. It was all for punishment and dick-wagging, and THAT'S what I'm against.
