well i'm not counting ME in that WE. we ILLEGALLY invade other countries because of some bullshit about weapons (which as it turns out DO NOT exist) and at the same time, we're handing out weapons TO EVERYONE EVERYWHERE (well not handing out, charging through the teeth i'm sure). this makes my blood boil. this is just WRONG WRONG WRONG. i knew we were providing israel cluster bombs and the like, but i didn't know all of this.
