Been gone for years and don't miss a single thing. Now I laugh when I watch American news and look at what is important to the people who are still living there. It's sad really.

One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. I am in no position of power to decide who is right and who is wrong, nor should anyone have that power. Though I do know that the American war machine has killed more INNOCENT people than any terrorist act ever has. In fact, it has killed more innocent people that ALL terrorist acts combined.

Sorry, but I just can't care much about a country that doesn't care about me or the people I love (or its people in general). If that were to ever change, perhaps my views would too.

Outside of visiting my mom from time to time, I have no plans to stay in the USA ever again.
Just because I was born there, does not mean I owe the country anything. I did not choose to be born there. I OWE THE USA NOTHING (other than some back taxes).
