Right, how about this one? Its about american soldiers showering the town of fallujah with chemicals that burn the skin right to the bone, while they are ironically searching for weapons of mass destruction that dont exist:

Question, when you watch the evening newscast do you miss the violins?

See thats the america i hate. Cold, empty, mean people that are HOO-RAH more war because the killing isnt on their streets. See how the mask of what alawen is talking about falls off quickly. The mask of captain america.

Thank you for the constructive comment. I fixed the typo.

It comes as no surprise to me that there are many who seem to have given up on America. I wish I could inspire you to stand up and harness your anger to do something, anything. There are many things that we need to improve. It all starts by believing that things can be improved and that you, personally, have the power to help.

The disaster in the Gulf of Mexico has been a wake up call for me. If we do nothing, the world will be continue on this path of ignorance, corruption, abuse, war and destruction. We have the choice, right now, beginning today, to use our powers for good and not evil.

I will not be taking part in any more tit-for-tat squabbling. The world needs me for other things. The world needs you, too. Your country needs you and your grandchildren need you. We can make this world a better place, but only if we work together.

This is an inspiring post (and I'm not even American) but it's kinda vague though. What types of actions are you encouraging others to take? What actions have you taken yourself since having this epiphany? I'm no saint myself though I do some volunteer work, but I am always a bit put off by these posts that talk grandly about "The world needs us" without talking about actually taking action.

I'm currently changing careers so I can put my money where my mouth is and help people.

I think I'd fall under that "action" list.

My first post was quoting all the vetoes of the US at the UN on such things as:

1982 Condemns apartheid and calls for the cessation of economic aid to South Africa. 4 resolutions.

1986 Calls on all governments (including the USA) to observe international law.

it goes on and on like this till 2010, when someone is this far off reality, satire is often a good antidote. Im not saying youre a subhuman chill out, youre just way off the reality lane.

No, youre on a rooftop not going anywhere soon. You need to go back to the road dude.

Is there some particular part of fuck you and fuck off that you are just too goddamned dense to understand?

Pay no attention to the massive abuse of civil liberties here, must get back to bashing the US!

and I am a staunch Canadian federalist for the record, I just felt it necessary to say that every country pulls stupid shit.

The United States is by no means unique in this regard, it's economic and military strength simply permits it the potential to commit greater mistakes more often on both a national and international level than any other nation currently.
