>>England created the states of the middle east including Israel. you realize that that area has been fighting against itself over land for hundreds if not thousands of years, even before England touched it right?
>>but for some reason we are the only ones who care enough to even try and do something about it. define care, please. We went over there originally under false pretenses created by Cheney and Rumsfeld, specifically orchestrated with false evidence and outright lies. We're currently still "helping" there on the count that we still have to secure "interests" (political and physical) and not loose face for fucking up so bad in the long run.
>>Europe fucked the world up. Sure, and Im guessing you believe Europe is a country too. I wont deny that England or for the matter of fact, the rest of Europe has done horrible things at any point in history, but come on, I think as your christian god says it most "Those who live in glass houses, shouldn't throw stones" (and I'm paraphrasing). America has quiet its own bit of "fucking up" it has done globally as well for its own means, just not so many since we've only existed for such a short amount of time.
Look, as an american, I think our biggest problems (besides rising obesity rates, dependency on fossil fuels, global & political unawareness, etc) is education and having an appreciation for an open mind rather than sticking to one damn side of an argument. Without understanding both sides of a problem, nothing ever gets done, or the problem gets worse. Its heavily evident just in this thread alone that this is true. We fail to see that we're not always correct, or that our way isn't the only way. Options exist for that reason, and we fail to acknowledge them on a daily basis.
