What exactly are the people of the US supposed to do for the rest of the world? How much of the blood of our citizens has been spilled over the past century liberating or protecting other countries? How much of our food has gone to feeding the hungry? How much money has our country shelled out bailing out failed economies, or rebuilding tsunami devasted countries a world away? When will the people of the world solve their own problems instead of looking for the US to bail them out? Do the corrupt/failed governments of the world bare any responsibility for the terrible state their countries are in? Who gives anyone the right to demand that we give more? If you sincerely believe that what I've said above is brainwashing, you need help man.
Did, in any moment, said you have to DO something? You don't, and belive me, we don't want you to. What we'd like is that you'd know about the world a little bit better. To KNOW, not to DO.
I apologize if I jumped, however when you start talking about brainwashing it's difficult not to make the leap. Yes, there's an entire world out there that begs to be explored and learned about. The same could be said standing on any point on Earth, not just the US.
Returning to the original topic, Yoda: What's the word on the seats Labour lost? Do you think if will force Blair out early?
