I had many good friends that lost their lives trying to make this world a better place, for those that can't defend themselves.
People that just want to scratch out a meager existance and don't a pot to piss in. If the U.S. as a superpower doesn't try to stem this tide, then who will. And when the shit hits the fan on our own ground as it did on 9-11, who will go after and stop the groups and tyrants that instigated it. You should feel very lucky that you live in a society that lets you question your government.
Sorry for the flag waving. But that is just the way I feel.

Heuh? For God's sake I worshipped the US until they came to Beirut to apparently save us in the Christian community and put a stop to the war and then all of a sudden I see them running away from Hezbollah. I mean really
You can imagine my disappointment. I still loved the US though but then I discovered that the CIA was supporting a guy like Bashir Gemayel, a guy who slaughtered Muslims. All the US presidents couldn't be good, some of them where quiet bad, like Bush nowadays. But hey if you're naïve enough to believe that all US presidents always did the right thing, it's your opinion.
