Your govt. officially came out and listed every bad act it has done. You all have voted out every politician you deem did a bad act
If so, great and I am happy for you all (I am being serious not a smart a$$)
America's is as well. The media here screamed about the war in Iraq. They reported all of the autrocities. They showed, to the govt.'s chagrain, the torturing at the prison. What are they supposed to do, show the bullets ripping into the Iraqi's
Show the Muslim extremists beheading innocent people. No, they should not show that - reporting it is enough and they do that
Americans, and I submit alot of the rest of the Western, for the mostr part world just do not care. They just as well see all Middle Easterners dead and BOTH sides have dirty hands in that.
Anyway, that is how I see it and I ain't about to get into a five page repeat bitch fest with anyone
