Shujui-Moja It is obvious from your post that followed mine, that you have not learned from world history or have taken the time to research current events with an open mind. I will address a couple of your points here, so you can see that. #1. You asked who have we helped in the past century? How about every allied country in WWI or WWII. Look at what caused the wars, what became of the axis powers after the wars, and the part of the U.S. governments and military played in each. Do you know the difference in the history of East and West Germany? How about WWII Japan and the current Japan? How about the Korean conflict? Can you see any difference between North and South Korea today? If you don't just let me know I'll send you some internet sites you can visit to gain knowledge in these areas. #2. If you like, I will give you a second side to the story that you took the time to simply copy. If Naomi Klein really believes that everything can be fixed overnight, than Klein must be crazy. Does Klein think that the U.S. in 30 days or less can fix the things like sewers, phone lines, cable, water, electric, power, and oil lines that Saddam destroyed over 25 years? Even more to the point, do you? Where does Klein even mention that if the U.S. waited for the world to set up a system to see who should be allowed to rebuild Iraq that millions of Iraqs would be without water, power, food, and those other items I listed. How many Iraq's would die without those items, and who would Klein and you blame? Of course I already know that you would blame the U.S. The contracts awarded NEED to be done now, and since we are in Iraq, we are not taking the time to see how many more Iraq's will die. Sorry to disappoint you or Klein, but we do care about the Iraq people. We want things fixed now and will not stand by why companies fight over contracts. Klein printed a story, and made the facts appear to support what side she choose. I don't know if Klein is male or female, sorry if I am wrong in that assumption. If you believe that facts cannot be twisted to support one side of a story then you know not of propaganda. 3. I did not say that some of the things said, and copied are not true, my problem is they are only half of the story. I wonder why your posts only show what appears to be the negative side of the war and the U.S.? Do not be deceived so easily. Even a blind man can see the light. http://edition.cnn.com/

It's nice to see, again, that no matter what the U.S. does people always like to criticize america. No matter who we try to help, someone always says we have some hidden agenda. As an american, we don't forget what our government has done in our name. Some americans have protested, demonstrated, and even died trying to change the things that they felt were wrong. We know that we don't always do the right thing, that we have supported the wrong people, and that we have killed innocent civilians. What so many others seem to think is that we don't know any of this. We know and we don't forget. What we try to do is forgive, and this is our problem. What we have now found out is that many other countries, people, and groups don't. More to the point is that Somalia, like numerous other countries can't let the past stay in the past, and learn from it. We as americans try to live a joyous and wonderful life. We don't know alot of the things that the CIA, FBI, or our government has done. Yet for some reason we are held accountable for those things. I am not making excuses for my country. I have seen many others around this great planet, and truely believe that this is the best country on this planet. I am not bashing any of you who posted before, but please. If you really believe what you posted, let me know. I will post science, history, and facts to show that what was posted before me is only half truths. And if you only want half truths, as Bagdad Bob said " Iraq is still winning the war ".
