Bali (a mear rant)

Well after todays news, I was wondering if there are any yank's here. Because I would like to ask them how they feel about ISRAEL. My personal oppinion is that things will not begin to get better until the US starts to withdraw from pandering to the Israelis every whim.
When will the US realise that by not actively giving support to the people of Palestine against the oppression they suffer from the Isrealis. And do something to stop the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian peoples out of that area, then there will never be any peace between the west and the Islamic comunities. I is a dreadfull thing that has happened in Bali, but I do hope that the WEST, that includes Europe as well as the US, will sit up and take notice that they must take some responsibility for what has happened. We must accept that we have failed the Muslim peoples around the world in helping them improve their lifes. I hear you scream they do not want western ideas, western democracy and capitalism in their lifes. But they must also accept evolution and enter the 21 century along with the rest of the world. If life is to improve and blossom in this century we must go forward as a nation of humans not individuals, we may have our individual ideas and desires but this should be charged to the good of the human race and that means acceptance of all cultures. For the good of the future child, it is our time to make a difference, so give the person next to you a hug, and lest hug one random person tomorrow, someone you do not know maybe an idea. Hug a person of different culture to yourself and then think was that really so bad. This goes out to all peoples of the world.


Thank you.

Here's a yank for you, buddy, all the way down to my cowboy boots. You think we run this country? Big suprise headin' you're way. Big money runs this country, your country, your town, my town et.al...
We used to be American, but international trade has made us kind of a washed out, overfed tourist trap for cheap air fare tourists from abroad, a convient dropping off point for the disenfranchised and unwashed, and an outlet for cheaply constructed crap from whatever non-communist country we are currently trying to keep on the payroll. You want a mean rant, you should see how people think about each American. I ain't George Bush, and wouldn't let him put his feet up on my porch. But I ain't the big money that tells him what to do, so he don't care, anyhoo.
