4. Since we credit everything bad that goes on in the world to the United States.....
Why can't we give a bit of credit to the USA on this?

Why can't we at least entertain the thought that the Egyptian army
From the start to the finish didn't roll their tanks into the cities
and shoot the protestors down dead? Must we speculate that this couldn't
have happened? Why is that?

Is America only recognized for the ills it brings to the world,
and never anything positive that goes down?

Do we believe that we can assign nefarious negative sub-plots and conspiracies
when results are fucked up ones, and never have conspiracies that might make
the US look more on the positive in any instant, ever?

This article helped me see things from a more positive
perspective than the one you hold: http://www.democratsforprogress.com/2011/02/12/community-organizing-social-media-once-again-change-the-world/
