well. I don't see this as a balanced, well thought out diatribe, it's more of a hateful rant. If an American had written something like this about another nation we at DU would be all over them.

We should be responsible for our government - but as most of us here know we have tried and done everything in our power to stop the current government and the atrocities being committed in our name to no avail. I take umbridge at sweeping generalizations toward ALL Americans when so many of us are trying to end this tyranny.

Yes, there are a minority of flaming fundamentalist idiots that help to keep thes people in power, but the "powers that be" have pretty much conspired in keeping the Bush Administration in power and so far there has been very little we can do to stop them.
