It's sad that you all view your OWN country in the manner that you do. Clearly you believe what you see in the mainstream media and dont think for yourself. Your the type of person who is so ashamed of your own country and makes it worse on everyone else. This is why, like RUT said take it with a grain of salt...I personally say take the media with a shot of pincillin. It's all mistconstrued to make our President and our country look bad. I'm not a fan of Bush but things could be a hell of a lot worse.

And just for ya'll who think we "police" the world and we always start fights but never better anything or "resolve" anything...Look at Korea. North Korea vs. South Korea and try to tell me that the Korean war was pointless. Yes we lost 52,000 SOLDIERS(my grandfather being one of them) but I PROMISE there are over 34million Koreans that will disagree with you, that are active and bettering themselves, there country and the world.
