You are absolutely right! Unfortunately, the American people don't seem to understand the damage the current and the previous governments have done to other nations.....Bush's government slaughtered the Afghans, the Iraqi and is about to declare war on Iran and still the majority of the American public opinion supports him....They are turning a blind eye to the whole situation....But I'm glad that your way of thinking is completely different...!

I know what you mean. All people by a certain age have had to deal with some sort of betrayal and disillusionment. This one however is too big for most people to handle though. The thought of finally seeing it televised and in the paper has them to shocked to see. I have seen it my whole life and just been called paranoid. I just tell people, you can never be too paranoid in any country with a government. I was raised military, and have a slight advantage over “Middle America”, same as an educated or awake American has. I have seen people do what is expected along side doing what is actually right. I have seen my country go from a hero that fixed any problem you handed her to one that wants to be paid for the epidemic. I feel so bad for my Soldiers and Marines, and the American people at large. They’re just people, trying to live and love and grow same as any humans; but instead get hated and used and killed and used some more. The way the country rallied around New York after 911 is how I see the people of my country in my heart. It wasn’t New York that got hurt, or New Yorkers, it was our people. Our New York.
I also see people from my country from all walks of life trying to go to and help other countries who have been hurt by their government or leaders or natural disaster. But no one ever remembers us then.
In my mind however, I think, they could do more than they know, but have been divided so many times they don’t even know who they can talk to on a day to day basis, much less about how to actually change things for the better.
Yes many of us know, and many of us hate it as much as people in other countries who feel so superior to us because they think they see it and were just blind dogs following a bad master. Yet I think, other than revolution, what can we do? I wish I could remember where I read something along the lines of; when this government is no longer of the people, it’s patriots are to rise up and change it.
As in any country, that’s most likely a bad idea unless you have a huge army and the Army of the country besides involved in your cause.
I still love my country so deeply. Warriors for her protection as well. But I feel hurt for us too. For all human beings. We can’t see each other any more, and I believe we are missing each other. Goddess knows no one else feels for the common man and woman in the US. People still think we Are our government.Nice fantasy.One we share with all other peoples and their governments.

New world order. Americans, are blind caught up in day to day living. There's a lot of distractions out there, the price of gas, sports, job lost, drugs and crimes ..........When we say that's wrong, it's already a done deal. Look at the school system in the inter cities. High school completion certificate, Bush's no child left behind laws.

Yes you are really a blindfolded people in USA by the information you get.
It is like in the old communist stats in East Europe, the truth is much wider that what you get.
Your government act as the time of gunboat diplomacy, but that time has past away a long time ago

If the american people stand together and do a Muhammed Ali and refuse to be deployed, regardless of what the politicians say or do, there will be no war.
Power to the people. That's the true significance of real democracy.

I think that many people are ignorant as to what is happening with the USA, but I dont think politicians are planing the world destruction either. If you are worried about the future of US foreign policy and domestic policy, as you should be, then the best thing is to get involved in the process. Get people to register to vote, ask your school to invite sensible scholars to speak on the matter, get involved, dont let ignorance ruin the country!

The American people are too lazy to educate them self's about what effects them. They have been turned into a herd of 'sheep'... "Baa! I saw it on the 6 o'clock news!"... We must wake up and take back our country or there will be hell to pay...The Truth is Out There!

very good point.....im an aussie and i can see what is happening in this world. the u.s govt is trying to drag the world into all-out conflict....but ask yourselves...who controls the u.s govt? who controls the u.s media? who doesn't want the Arabs in the Middle East? its not your average American...i know you guys are good people. The answer is the jews. Everyone knows they run the show in U.S, they control the govt and therefore control the army. Americans are out fighting and dying in wars not for their country but for the jews.

Have you talked to a therapist about your paranoid compulsion to view conspiracy fiction web sites?
Do you need some ocean front property in Arizona? Cause I'd be happy to sell you alittle, along with the Masons plans to build a new world on Mars and control Earth from space.
