Well Matt your approach is definitely the wrong approach. That would start yet another needless war. I am not sure where you get your information from but it seems to me you obviously have been terribly misinformed. Your lack of correct information speaks for itself. If you want to find problems that really need to be address you might take a long hard look in your own country. Bush has done nothing but antagonize other countries. He also uses propaganda techniques to brainwash good Americans into believing everything he says.. The problems the US is facing today are caused by those who are now or have been in power. It has become a Fascist country. Elements of Fascism include: * Powerful idea of nationalism * Powerful executive control in government * Lower human rights outlook * Military reigns supreme * Corporations wield great power * Idea that National Security is at great risk to some threat ( this one has been used to death, countless time by Bush) * Identifying of enemies/scapegoats that unifies citizens in Patriotism * Mass media controlled by State and Corporations * Fixed elections * Rampant corruption * Unlimited power held by police force Fear is the greatest weapon of all. If you have not noticed these things surfacing over the years then my poor man you really need to take a good look. Seems there needs to be some serious soul searching in order to see the light.
