Edited on Thu Apr-24-08 11:56 AM by melody
Because I don't automatically blame our people for what the government has done? I'm afraid I'm far too well aware of how little power we have anymore.
But thank you for recognizing that was my point -- we need to stop playing nursemaid to the world. Let the bloody UN do what it's supposed to do. And let everyone participate in its financing.
