You live in the past. Two weeks ago the US arrested some former Vietnam vets and some former Laotian soldiers for buying weapons and plotting a coup in Laos; a communist country by the way. I believe Ortega, Chavez and Castro are still running their countries. Abu Graihb, Guantanimo, torture of any kind are wrong. The US has done terrible things. People here agree on that. Killing civilians indiscriminately is Terrorism. The people blowing up innocent civilians in the market places of Iraq, kidnapping, beheading etc. are murderers, pure and simple. Even the Sunni insurgents seem to agree on that as they killed the leader of Al Quida in Iraq last week. Presumably over a disagreement about tactics. But you have already made up your mind. Your emotional anti-Americanism is well known. The US is not responsible for all the poverty in the world, or poor education or any of the other conditions that nurture terrorists. We (the west) are just a scapegoat for these failings. If these countries like Pakistan or Saudi Arabia set their own houses in order this terrorist craze would subside. Also the American government officials responsible for the illegal contra war in Nicaragua were found guilty by the US congress for their crimes, even if most of them were pardoned. The Iraq war is immensely unpopular in the US and is widely considered to have been a huge mistake. Unfortunately for everyone the bloodshed and violence of the past is all too much with us and unless we can forget it all we will remain stuck in this killing and war. You and your attitudes show that you are very much still stuck in an outraged past.
