Throughout the history of this experiment of democracy we all call America, we have not only look pass human rights and the sanctity of people being equal, but we have also criticized many other countries for the same thing. is it that other countries don't cover it up as well as we do, or is it just the fact that we think ourselves above the law.
--At the beginning is when it started, taking of a people that had lived here for years and years before us, to expand our great new country// yet we criticize Germany and the soviet union for doing the same thing...yes i believe that they shouldn't kill to gain land and to expand, but what makes it ok for us to...i guess we are more civilized in the modern age.
--During World War II the U.S. Army forced approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans, two-thirds of whom were American citizens, from their primarily West Coast homes to ten concentration camps, many in the interior of the country. The U.S. government referred to these prison-like camps as relocation centers.// And this might be much less than the German concentration camp, and the soviet camps, yet is the same concept.
--The U.S. dropped two atomic bombs to end WWII and the results were; As many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki may have died from the bombings by the end of 1945//and still today the United States has the largest stock pile of nuclear weapons of any other country, and we are the biggest supporter of the disarment of other countries.
Today our mistakes are not seen by the normal everyday citizen. we have become smarter in a in a way, in that we cover up the mistake we have made, and the mistakes we will make. yes other countries like Pakistan, Iraq, and Iran look like big bullies, and evil countries...but i believe it is only the fact that they haven't perfected the craft of making "mistakes" in secret. Just look at how upset, and what a roar Vice President Cheny made over the national archives asking THE NUMBER of classified documents his office had accumulated.
P.S.-"Never stop asking questions, even after you have gotten the answer."
