and hope that you are able to tolerate my explanation and expansion. You are quite right that "people are people." We all share hopes and dreams. What must be factored into the current equation is that the U.S. MIC is the most powerful and destructive force in the world today. When the forces that govern IT make a decision, no matter how flawed, EVERYONE SUFFERS.

When America's children are gathered into an organization, whose goal is to brainwash them into conducting mass murder for the sake of corporate profits, against those who have never posed a real and present threat to them and their families, "We the People" have a serious problem. When those same children view others as no more than "sand niggers" who somehow "deserve" the brutality heaped upon them and are viewed as brave heroes, "We the People" have a problem. When those children return, broken and battered by the insults upon their core values and inegrity, as thin as they may be, and are denied the care they need to return to "civilized society," "We the People" have a VERY SERIOUS problem.

Germany and South Africa have done what America has failed to do. Both nations have CONFRONTED THEIR ACTIONS head-on. That process contributes to the health and healing of a society. America has yet to acknowledge the problem.
