So Maybe I'm wrong - But So What?!

We talked about the war in class today, and not just the war we currently fight in vain, but every other war we have stuck out noses into for the sake of proving to the world (once again) that we are the ultimate super power. *SILENT SCREAM* I can't take it anymore - the whole subject makes me sick to my stomach. We are supposed to be thankful, joyful, understanding! Holy shit! I'm tired of it. I'm tired of war being glorified and glamorized through movies, TV, video games, and every other venue we can come up with. We shouldn't be over there, we shouldn't have anything to do with issues we don't and refuse to understand. We are a mindless people right now - naive and power hungry. I just spoke with a co-worker about how we both feel like with most Americans, we have to dumb ourselves down for their sake. The real issues are put under the rug because those in the "real world" don't have the guts to face the truth about what's really going on.
