    Heck, why waste time with Universal Healthcare? They should be focused on World Peace and the elimiation of all diesease first. All of this other stuff is just a waste of time.

    What fucking amends? You sound like we have got something to apologize. For what? Liberating not one but two oppressed peoples?

    How about having something to do with getting them there in the first place? Or have you completely, to use your parlance, fucking forgot about US support for Iraq/Saddam during the Iran-Iraq war between 82-88? This is fucking during the regime's use of chemical weapons against the kurds.

    And you wonder why people hate "Americans" (my apologies to Canadians, Mexicans, etc)?
