if you want to talk about sheltered. how about we talk about the fact that if iraq were to invade america they would rape and kill our woman and children for sport, yet US gets the shaft everytime there is a casualty in war.
americans are not only sheltered but blind as well.

by any means i can tell your a very educated person. that is awsome but you must honestly say that there is a very large amount that do not have the chance to have such a great teacher like yourself. I think the war in iraq is good and bad, i think the reasons why the states went to war was wrong but unfortunitly it is hard to change a society and how they opperate overnight. I feel bad for every life lost (americans and iraq's). I do feel strongly that many americans need to wake up from the "we are the best" type view, yes you are a huge power in the world, if not the biggest but that cockyness has bitten the americans in but butt before..
