Last week I posted a topic to the BBC forums on "No More Superpowers" I thought for sure I would be 'burned in effigy' by the brits, but in fact they were remarkably agreeable. This country has a long history of being the world's bully and trying the hide the information from it's population for quite some time, then when the info comes to light it's quickly dismissed as a 'conspiracy theory'. The rest of the world outside of the U.S. borders knows the terrible truth, convincing a nation of easily-led sheep is something else all together different.
I wonder if there's ever going to be positive resolution to this, some national waking-up where americans will realize how wrong and how evil their country is to the rest of the world. For many years I've seen a lot of arrogance and ignorance, but not much else. The american psyche is remarkable for it's refusal to accept reality, or even to research that reality to find out if it's valid. I find it astonishing that so many people can forget something like Iran-Contra ever happened. It seems that just that one issue would be enough to discredit the republican party forever. But *no*!!!! America sails along, lost without a clue as madmen lead the blind. . . What an appropriate description of the current situation.
