it's tough for the u.s. to talk to anyone about human rights issues, given their past with the aboriginal americans. actually, probably all of europe treated the american aboriginals poorly.

we need to figure out how to get the oil out of the mideast, and how to keep israel and the 'arabs' from warring.
