While you are congratulating yourselves on how the American government
has every right to continue its current path ...
I would like to point out that there are meters and meters of blood
underneath the soil here in Europe, and Europeans do *not* want a
World War III. And this is what they see the current American path
leading to. I don't think that many Americans have a deep
understanding of this fact of the pools of blood here. There will come
a point, in the not-to-near-future when the Europeans say "I'm sorry,
we won't help you fight your war."
Of course, Europe is not as strong as America, and there's going to be
a lot of negotiating in the European politicians card-hands to see
what possible things they can do to stop the destructive path that the
U.S. government is following.
The U.S. government (and other western governments) has created some
real messes in the world, and Afghanistan and the Middle East is a
biggie. One of the nice things about America, is the politicians *do*
listen, to some extent, to what the U.S. public has to say there
(witness Vietnam).
I could offer suggestions here, but I think I'll stop for the
moment. This issue issue makes me exhausted and very upset.
Amara
