I agree with Don. There is no country who's government is immune to
abuse. All of the nationalistic garbage only serves to cause wars of
'justice' and 'right'. The recent events show that uncle ronnie may
have us in a peace action (war) in the middle east as a christmass
present. I don't see how the govt. can harass the couple in N. Y.
who don't want to allow an operation for their deformed child,
which will only live about 2 yrs with the operation, and then send
people, with a higher probability of a long life, to get shot in
another country. We were not at war a month ago, but we appear to
be now.
The only thing I see is that ronnie wants to get re-elected by the
'moral' majority and by reducing un-employment. To do this he has
taken a token stand on minority rights and is in the process of
sending some of the excess population to another country to be
killed.
Viewing ones own country as good is OK but if we forget that our
leaders are just like us, human, both gready and self centered,
we end up with Nazi germany and/or Viet Nam.
