The sad part charly, is that the majority of americans have no clue as to what their own govt has been doing over the years. The news media and pundits keep asking "why do they hate us" and bush and others talk bs about how they are just evil and hate us for our freedom. What a joke, but NO ONE talks about the real reasons. Saying anything negative about israel is completely taboo for reporters and all politicians, they know a single word guarantees the anti-semitic charge. And criticizing the military industrial complex and the role of the cia in fucking with other peoples countries just goes right over most peoples heads.
The only solution to terrorism being proposed by either political party is the john wayne approach, to simply kick their butts and/or kill them all, which works great in the movies but just escalates things in real life. The real reasons behind most of the terrorism isnt even being mentioned, which guarantees it will continue.
