I have to say, they blew my mind; they were so amazing and true in every way. I just wish more people/teens were into politics and what's going on. It's just so disappointing that so many Americans don't even know what's happening in their own country.Candyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01773662895555098023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092775041710446078.post-60303630721587767712011-03-16T11:15:56.055-05:002011-03-16T11:15:56.055-05:00Makes me sad that Americans are under the delusion...Makes me sad that Americans are under the delusion that they are really free anymore.Joyful_Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07131849176031302883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092775041710446078.post-28731784504078929522011-03-14T14:58:24.833-05:002011-03-14T14:58:24.833-05:00You ought to read "The Post-American World&qu...You ought to read "The Post-American World" by Fareed Zakaria. It's a wonderful read, and dwells in-depth with the "America is a superpower" thing. And it's not as anti-American as it sounds, I promise. It's very wonky though, so...yeah.<br /><br />Anywho.<br /><br />"We cannot be selfish hogs and hoard freedom for ourselves."<br /><br />Neither can we spread it with guns to other places that have no conception of what a Constitutional republic with a democratic twist looks like. We cannot impose such a system upon a country that only knows tribal law and expect it to end beautifully. They must fight for it themselves, or it means nothing, and they will lose it.Kyla Denaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079377672682346142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092775041710446078.post-17201042130972111592011-03-14T13:06:08.547-05:002011-03-14T13:06:08.547-05:00The United States is usually the first to be asked...The United States is usually the first to be asked to help when either a foreign tragedy occurs or when there are conflicts overseas and the U.S. is usually the first to respond and answer that call. If that didn't happen then the United States would no longer be the top superpower nor would this country stand for freedom anymore. We cannot be selfish hogs and hoard freedom for ourselves.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092775041710446078.post-37913511571460578252011-03-14T12:46:24.670-05:002011-03-14T12:46:24.670-05:00The problem is that the Taliban was practically ch...The problem is that the Taliban was practically chosen by the Afghan people. Yeah, they were heading towards a revolution pretty fast, but that's okay. What's unforgivable is us butting our big nose where it doesn't belong: that is, anywhere that doesn't belong to us.<br /><br />Our politicians never had a mother who taught them to mind their own business.Kyla Denaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079377672682346142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092775041710446078.post-15374370718692959042011-03-14T12:00:44.970-05:002011-03-14T12:00:44.970-05:00The United Nations tells the world that The Taliba...The United Nations tells the world that The Taliban killed 2,777 civilians last year.<br />http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/03/10/taliban-responsible-huge-numbers-civilians-deaths/<br />And Karzai gets upset about us killing nine people?<br />Killings bad.

Then we will exit Afghanistan. <br /><br />This is sad but war is hell. Civilian casualties have always been a part of war, unfortunately but that doesn't mean fighting and advancing the cause of freedom isn't worth the price.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040553825059591114noreply@blogger.com
