We are not perfect

Most other nations think americans swagger becuse of conceit, but like to think it is more as a being confident in what we have accomplished in the short time we have been a country ! The United States Government doesn't represent the people of America. It represents big business. here is a recent quote from george Bush, money trumps all including peace !!! That statement made my skin crawl when I heard it, the writing is on the wall, big business runs our country.

As a matter of fact big business is so much in control of most, if not all, countries, so when people die it is the cost of doing business plain and simple ! But some people must die so the rest of us can go on with our lives. Economies are fragile and the sad part of the matter is making war pay's bigtime the money made in the arms business world wide is incalculable. War puts many people to work either in the production of the arms themselves and the businesses that feed these munitions giants !!

But the war on terror is a different animal all together, if the terrorists win this war, the global economies of all nations will take a hit, it might never recover from.. If that scenario comes true, then past wars will look like a good night in Sin City !!! The American people are not the bad guys. we are like everyone else in the world we want to feed our families and worship the God of our choice. For all who want man to continue on as a species, the beast of terror must be wiped of the face of the earth. Then we can all get back to fighting wars like the good old days mano a mano !!!
