Over a million Afghanis are thought to have been killed by our actions
Noone knows.
Thought and proof are two different things.

Thank you, calihan, that is a wonderful sentiment.
There is so much goodness to be seen, if we merely look beyond the bad stuff which is the general plight of man and the human condition. We in America are still part of a great experiment, and I am very confident that we are, thought far from perfect, helping to shape a better tomorrow for all people.
Most importantly, nothing is to be gained from being hopeless. We have unlimited potential and there is so much good still to do. Let's be positive and move forward to a better tomorrow.
Don't hide behind cowardly statements.
Soon you will know death and you won't be laughing.
I like your thinking. There is so much negativity, if people stopped and tried to be positive, maybe they would start seeing the difference in america that they are looking for.
Plus If Obama wins and really sucks as president,god grant me the grace to be humble and pray for him instead of being a angry and hateful ranter

Absolutely right. Hate only hurts the haters. There are always silver linings.
But with sooooo many people only thinking about the bad in every situation it never allows for anything good to come along.

You know.. I dont understand why so many people bash america daily. We ARE very free in comparison to much of the world. But heres the reality... We have clean water. We dont have civil wars every day that have been going on for years, like many other countries. We have shelter. We have food. We have good people and we are a superpower because we help so many countries, and so many countries help us as well. Why must we always bash america , when I can gurantee you would want to come back in a heartbeat if you lived in many other places in the world. Be thankful for what you have. There are a lot of good people in this country, a lot of good things about this country. We are why so many people from other countries want to come here and live the american dream.

oh please. we have clean water. do you die from the diseases in your water ? NO. you dont. but many other countries cant drink their water. They cant shower with clean water. They cant cook with clean water. You are so selfish to say that its almost unbelievable. So we have flouride in our water, so what. No one is dying or getting sick from it and until that happens you really shouldnt complain last night just showed me i know what im talking about. it showed the good in a lot of people. every type of person came together for once, because finally we came over a huge barrier in america's history and i know many many people never thought they would see the day a black man was elected president, but it happened. And that is the key point of america. anything can happen.
