OT Ted- But what really rubs my butt the wrong way is the slur against Americans; that we are so out of it, so unaware of what goes on outside our own backyard, that a minority of 6% can manipulate us into believing something that is not true. That doesn't bother me. Americans are pretty clueless when it comes to events outside the US. Outside of North America, just about every country believes that Israel is waging an unjust war against the Palestinians. These folks also believe that since Israel has always received billions in aid from the US, this can only mean that the US approves of this war. So we have millions or billions of people believing that the US is waging war on Palestinians in particular and to some extent on Arabs in general. This is their perception. Is this true? I don't think so but these beliefs are at least partially logical. But Americans don't get this at all, they just want to help Israel which is besieged by Arabs. So someone is clueless here. Is it the US or the rest of the world? If it is the US, how did we get here?

ted, sorry but you sound naive. Powerful minorities have always ruled every country that has ever existed. C
