"Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well, there's a really easy way: stop participating in it."
- Noam Chomsky
The U.S. is now widely viewed as a brutal, bullying nation that countenances torture and operates hideous prison camps at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and in other parts of the world - camps where inmates have been horribly abused, gruesomely humiliated and even killed.
yah, well, ok... to quote a friend... "what the hell do we care what THEY think about US...?"
it's not like there aren't a lot of other countries who have engaged in similar behavior... but we here in the u.s. have always set ourselves up as the moral example, the "shining city on the hill," the model nation... the folks i talk to in other countries are less enraged than simply very sad and disppointed... they feel like a dream has been shattered...
