81. Do want to have to walk to work?
That's the response I got in Oct. of 2001 from a co worker when I said instead of invading Afganistan, we would get the hell out of the ME.

Many Americans want their oil, and will turn a blind eye to however the powers that be get it for them.

They won't or can't empathize with the people who live in these countries, who watch their children get blown apart, whose rights to their own land and own destinies are dismissed as inconsequential by the PNAC.

Some people think Americans are entitled to the world's resources because they buy into the notion that the US is the beacon of enlightenment and we are better stewards and benevelent freedom fighters, others think we're God's chosen people and God wants us to have the bounty.

How do you change those hearts?
