Hawk-ing up for gulf war III
my personal feeling is that the phrase 'ugly american' is going to mean something entirely different for the 21st century than it did in the 2oth.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4955430.stm
i don't know if its the end of the world or not. frankly, the world would likely get on just fine without us.
i am troubled that my fine nation, by beloved republic, my ideal of ideals, is at the root of FUCKING BURNED UP CHILDREN.
this bothers me. my pursuit of happiness is stymied.
there's time to turn this bus.
i believe. can you?
what do we do? who do we elect? what streets can we own? towns, cities? hearts and minds?
gaah.

Ugly American is who I am. I got out of bed and stood up for that name. There are so many in England still paying homage (and a tax) to the Queen. We yanks separated ourselves in such an unpopular way, with blood and guns. The Canadians don't like us, but then they still pay the Queen and sell wood and Electricity to the US. Yet while young boys are being slaughtered in Darfur (http://www.darfurgenocide.org/darfur.php) the rest of the (free?) world is busy making deals for Oil. Most Americans join the service thinking they are going to serve the good and fight the good fight "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". The truth is War is a scar on humanity and serves no good end. However, they all mean well and I long for my friends (brothers and sisters) to come home. Who knows, GWB might even "mean well" but for lack of a leaders' brain he's doing the best he can. What really sucks is how many women and children died of disease and starvation during the sanctions imposed on Iraq during the Clinton Years. According to Amnesty International the number is half a million. Don't get mad at me… I have no answers and writing this brings me to tears. The rest of the pretty world should put up or shut up.
