During Vietnam brave people stood up to what was happening. Why are the media not showing what I hope are the protests that I believe are happpening in the USA- like to think that others are repelled from the actions of the USA's administration and if enough pressure is there, then change may happen

I know ours derives its income from the merchant therefore prints articles favorable to the merchant. Since the average citizen's (reader of the newspaper) life revolves very little arount the merchant, it seems that the newspaper is primarily a waste of resources. Yes? No?

Other Nazi-defined "undesireables" were also killed during the Holocaust....gypsies, mentally retarded, physically disabled,, intellectuals, Jehovah's witnesses, and countless others. These people numbered in the millions also.
Yet all we constantly hear about are "6 million Jews," as though they were the only ones that mattered. I would feel far more sympathetic and understanding of the Holocaust if Jewish people would INCLUDE those people, other than themselves when they speak and write about the horrors, devestation, and carnage of the Holocaust..
And why all of this "anti-semitism" uproar. Other groups/races/religions have also undergone untold horrors, yet they are not always crying "anti- this" or "anti-that" every single time someone makes what Jews perceive as an unpopular statement. If I say Jews own and run the media, I'm not making an anti-semitic statement. I am simply stating a truth...
If I say Blacks own hip-hop music I'm not anti-Black. I am stating a truth.

I saw a special on the children that are today suffering the effects of that disaster and I came across this site while looking for information.

After seeing the images and reading her words I felt the desire to contact her. (despite most seeing me as a fat, lazy, capitolist pig) I would be very greatful if anyone knows her email address. Seeing this information and being reminded is priceless and I just wanted to thank her for that.

We liberated Iraq from a dictator that lived supremely wealthy, while the common people starved, recieving no benefits as a community from the oil money!
For them to act so ungrateful and to call us occupiers!
We shed our blood and use our tax dollars and grieve as a Nation at war and they = muslims (see the best answer chosen on this post, below by clicking it) say we are not doing enough for them over there...
HOW DARE THEY!!!!! The sunni muslims and the shitte muslims are killing each other palestinian style with bombs on the street! Does anyone else see that to talk about muslims is to talk about politics as they have Islamic Countries and there is no seperation of church and state...(Not that I go for seperation of church and state.) But their religion and politics go hand and hand.
And they wonder why we good "people of the book" talk bad about them!?
