Well, let me tell you some good facts about our country......and yes, I am a native born American. Have you ever wondered why a Jew has never been president? A woman? A Catholic only once? Never a black or Latino? There is a saying that the rich get richer..........well, its true here in the good ole US of A. More and more of our wealth is concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer of the wealthy. Fortunately, there's enough to go around to support a large middle class so we don't notice that we're getting screwed. How come Bush so gladly goes to war sending our troops into battle when he refused to fight in Vietnam and even then, was AWOL for a year from the Nat. Guard? How many people from his economic class do you think fought in Vietnam? How many people from his class do you think are fighting in Iraq? Its not the upper class that's leading the charge......its the rest of us doing the dirty work. And the worse part about it.............Iraq didn't start the war, we did. Our guys are coming home, when they do come home, with missing legs or arms.....others are dying from a pneumonia that can't be explain. Remember the Gulf War disease? The bounty on American soldiers has been raised to 5k per head. For what? Where are the WMD? Where are the links to al Qaeda? Its a joke. Bush doesn't care..........its not his sons and daughters who are getting hurt. They're off getting trashed in Houston nightclubs. If a leader wants to go to war, then either he or is offspring should lead the charge, and not let someone else do the dirty work. That should be the American way! That is....if you are even an American at all, personally, I doubt you are. I am an American but not a happy one. And people like you are not helping things. A good American doesn't go along into the slaughter without asking questions. It wasn't being the good boy that got us independent from King George. Questioning your king.......or your president is not being unAmerican......its an American birthright. Rather than trashing me........you need to be doing some more research.........and thinking. I am not the enemy nor the one who is unAmerican.
