the US had nothing to do with going to war with Iraq, this was Israel that convinced American government to send the troops over there. Israel was afraid for his own people, so decided to sacrifice the lives of American troops to get rid of Saddam Hussein,otherwise why the hell the US should attack Iraq? do you want me to believe that the US did this for charity?! this was a war for Halliburton and Exon. This was a war to protect the Jewish state and to suck the oil up period

without wars..you ladys would not be living the great lives you have right now.

i hate war..allmost 99% of people do.. BUT there is this 1 %, that keeps flying planes into buildings...you must have forgotten that???

like isolationblues said ( it was not handed to us)

just like in IRAN ...right now in 2009 the people are fighting for there rights. and i think.. they will win in the end..but at a price.. you ladys might not understand living here in america.

This is a great video but I disagree with how my country is described as a consumer one. The United States is more than about material things. American ideals, many of which are in the U.S. Constitution are great and celebrate individual rights that have made our wealth possible. And by the way, it was not handed to us. Since the birth of our nation, we have had not only earned it with blood but have had to fight to preserve it. Without the United States, the world would be quite miserable.

USA is very focused on war tehnology and invest huge amounts of money in it so they need war so that tehnology can actually be used. That is actually a base of George Bush politics. I hope that next president (hopefully Obama) will direct that money into education instead war.
