I can't believe that!
Someone is proud of what the US government is doing!
The rest of the world is afraid of what will happen
cause now Bush can do what he wants cause he doesn't
have to care about being reelected.
You talked about WWII. USA waited to be attacked to
enter this war. Jews were being killed for 3 years
when the USA did something. You don't know anything
about the history of your country. You are
completely brainwashed.
Check what I found at :

I saw this on TV and I was amazed that the USA call
itself a civilized country.
In the movie "Black Hawk Down", we saw a nice story.
What we didn't see is that after 20-30 deaths, the
USA withdraw his help to this country and there
have been a genocide there. In Rwanda, the USA left
the country before the genocide. Canada was left
alone there but since the United Nations asked them
to stay there and just watch, the Canada couldn't do
anything. There was one million deaths there. The
Canadian General who was there has been on severe
depression for 10 years for seeing his friends die
every day. We have several artists here who came
from Rwanda. One was a kid at that time and when
they came in his house, he hid behind a sofa while
all his family were killed.
There is a lot of other countries who didn't get
help from the USA. Somalia, etc.
On 9/11 2001, around 3000 Americans were killed.
The measures the USA took against IRAQ after the
first war got around 600,000 kids to die.
Thank you very much for reading this long post.
