22. Anti-American?
I'm still confused by this lapse in logic. Is Bush President of Iraq? Do I care what government Iraq has? Or do I care about America? America first. That's my meme. The other side is anti-America,apparently Americans must die for Iraq. I really wish they wouldn't. I really wish they would defend America and leave Iraq alone. I need them here. I don't need them over there. They are just dying to insure that Iraq goes a few more months without a civil war. Woo hoo. Iraq! Iraq! Why should I even pay my taxes? Is Iraqi democracy more important than American democracy? Why do I care about Iraq again? It doesn't pro-America to me.

Oh yeah I know. It's an imperalism thang. Must secure the middle east even if it takes a hundred years and a hundred million dead. Wouldn't it be easier to come up with a petrol alternative? It seems to me a better solution. I guess that's my whole problem with the peak oil. Okay people! Get to work. Find another source of energy. This country has every resource to do so. It doesn't have to be the end of the world. But instead we must secure the middle east. I'd rather find another way.
