America should lose faith in its government. The American government has done nothing but screw us all over. They got us into a post-modern Vietnam war in a land where virtualy everyone hates us.
I compare this war to Nam only because we have no reason or right to be fighting there. The Iraqi government had nothing to do with any terrorist attacks, and look, we haven't even tried to find Osama in what seems like forever. Come on, its obvious that "staying the course" made things in the middle east so much worse.
If we stop attacking the insurgents and just pull out, they will leave us alone! But of course, everything that Bush says is word from god himself, which is a complete breach of seperation of church and state, one of the principles our so-called "great nation" was founded on.
The United States of America has been around about 200 years, and we have been through about 20 wars, that's an average of a war every 10 years, and the worst part is no one has atacked us since 1941 untill 9/11.
War isn't the only government screw up this country has seen. Massive debt to the economy, loss of jobs due to higher taxes giving corporations a great cut in income, all the lies that politicians spit at us every single day, the secrets they keep from the people, who by definition of democracy, are the ones "running" this country.
When was the last time YOUR vote counted in an election?!? This country is run by a bunch of hypocritical, lying, yuppies who get off on power, well lemmie tell you somethin, I don't belive in organization, or government for that matter, and George Bush aint my president!
