Anyways, back to original point. If you aren't american, and you go by the news (online, print, television, etc.) you have to agree that articles like the one this thread is about paint a very poor picture of your people and who your people choose to elect.

Well action like that do paint a poor picture, if you are uninformed about how the rest of the people are. Samthing with Muslims. When all you hear about is them blowing shit up and killing each other. An uninformed individual will perceive that all Muslims are that way, while the rest of us know that that is not the case.

Well, I can't compare because I only read western media...


it would be nice if we could have progressive world leaders. Pushing technology. New things. Blowing up Iraq ain't gonna rebuild the twin towers, but putting a zillion trillion dollars into research might come up with better ways to build towers and avoid future terrorist attacks.

You could kill every terrorist in the world right now...in thirty years, their kid would get revenge. But if you use that money to develop new ways of life, maybe you'll make that kid's life so much better that he doesn't want revenge.

I agree. Violence only creates more violence.
