Are you Americans dumb or naive to believe War and blowing up countries to be merely about two soldiers kidnapped and world peace? Since when did Empires become so concerned about its cannon fodder?

In answer to your foreign policy question: Americans are more naive and misinformed that ever before in my life. I believe this is because we are subjected to propaganda and manipulation devised by public relations wizards. Some of these are hired by the RNC and others are Israel lobbies. I never thought something like this would happen in the US, but it has, and the press is less free than ever.
For example, I've watched quite a lot of the war against Lebanon news coverage. When the journalists report from Israel they usually seem to give pro-Israel reports. Nowhere do they mention that Israel has strict censorship rules and these reports are tailored to comply with them.
Also, the Republicans have engaged in much manipulation, what used to be called dirty tricks. I believe it extends to the petty level of this board. There are clearly fake posters, I suspect some are paid to take a position to influence the young audience on these forums. Others are likely loyal political volunteers, and are likely doing this for free, but the result is the same, --attempts at brainwashing, distoring facts, outright lying. More dangerous and worrisome -- promotion of racism and hate speech.
You mention cannon fodder -- "support the troops" is empty rhetoric in many respects. And there is now a militiary recruiting shortfall.

Instead of showing your own lack of intelligence and tolerance by calling all american YA users dumb, why don't you think for a second, realize that most people that use YA do not run the site NOR work at Yahoo, then take a deep breath, and rephrase your question aiming at Yahoo administration or whatever. I will answer then properly, if I see it.

We don't all believe in war, but our present govt seems to think it's the answer to most everything.
I thought you could look into any Yahoo anywhere. Why would the questions from one place be blocked, unless it's a language difference?

You haven't leared that the two dimentional news in the US is all the Americans hear?
If the average US citezen heard and saw anything more than presented on thier news channels they would pass out .
