We DO deserve better...
I'm not an American...i'll say that right out, and get it out of the way. Also, considering the current president i'd be living under if I were, i'm proud not to be one.
I am a Canadian, and proud to be one, even if I don't really like our leader either. I can at least be proud of what my country stands for...and i'm sure most Canadians who think as I do would agree with you. This is a sick and viscious cycle that will eventually lead to our destruction...and the less countries that have nuclear arms, the better. If the US is so afraid of people using nukes against them...well, they should get rid of their own.
Why else do you think the countries likely to be targetted are arming themselves with them, too? They feel as threatened as America does. Either way...I agree with whoever (sorry, I forget your name) said that they'd like to see what would happen if those figures and specs were all telling us how many AMERICAN lives would be lost instantly...and how they were designed to penetrate AMERICAN bunkers. Why is it okay to kill if they're not 'our own' citizens? We're all human...and we all have the right to live. I wish more people felt that way. Fuck Bush. Nobody alive deserves him.
