I have never been so ashamed to be an American is my entire life. My whole life I wasbrought up a proud American. If I would have known what I know now, I would have fled this country a hell of a long time ago

Really, I will.. I'll continue to read the rest of your post... but I need to stop here:

"They tell us here in the States that when we bomb, it is warrantedand we only hit military facilities. In all actuality we are hitting schools and hospitals. "

What you forget, or simply overlook is that the schools and hospitals are military facilities... the sick military we are fighting place their own in danger, knowing full well that we will come kill them; knowing full well the bad press we will get and are willing to take by hitting a hospital.

I would much rather see a hospital blow up in the backyard of the military we are fighting than see an army say "But but they're in a hospital." and then, years later, be in a building in my own backyard when it's hit by a 747

"We are blinded by the media which is fed to us. We only see what they want us to."

You're also not seeing the caber in your own eye...

You received this information, this cut and paste collection of "500,000 of their children", via... media.

Often the US, over the course of all history, has funded/armed/supported different militia in different countries for different reasons. Sort of like a very large game of chess. Do not blame a single President. They have all done it to one extent or another. However, I am of the opinion that there would have been a large amount of much more serious situations had they not.

Bush blows balls and you two can suck my ass. Bush is an illiterate talking monkey who can't even speak the Englisg language. And you two are probably Republicans who would have the government think for you rather than have control over your own lives. Assholes.

I agree with you Tania, I told Russell that if Bush won again we were moving to Canada because America was obviously poputated by inbred morons. We are now in the process of finding out how to gain citizenship there.

Not every country is perfect. America has done it's share of "bad" things, but take a second to look at the good this country of ours has done before you start packing your bags. I guarantee we've done a hell of a lot more to help the world than you probably think. Unfortunately, the debt forgiveness, charity contributions, and numerous organizations set up to help the old, weak, handicapped, etc... just doesn't make it into the papers because, doggonit, it's just not newsworthy!
