They have no concept about how the world really works. The world is set up so the wealthy elites in Western countries, via their corporations, can drain the resources from the developing world and get rich from it. The American people have been brainwashed into thinking that the U.S. is actually a benevolent force in the world, when reality is very much different (we've got many skelletons in our closet). I don't think the U.S. is malevolent like NAZI Germany was (because we also do good in the world); the U.S. is just amoral. We do what's right for our interests and screw everyone else. This American arrogant attitude is being displayed prominently in this latest war effort against Iraq. Screw the UN, we're going to attack anyway. Forget about what the Constitution says about Congress having the power to declare war, we're going to do it anyway. Aren't people concerned that Constitutional government is disappearing right in front of their eyes. That alone tells you how stupid/programmed the American people are; that they aren't concerned that we are about to engage in an unprovoked war without proper Congressional approval.
