We're the nation that bombs flat. We flattened Tokyo and Dresden. We flattened North Korea. We flattened much of Indochina and 2 million farm people died. Now 1.3 million people died in Iraq. We also built thousands of H-bombs with which to bomb vast numbers of poor people flat, if things ever come to a bad end.
We need peoples of the world to be somehow closely connected despite the miles. If we adopt our enemy then we become dependent on them for some of our lunch and for some of our lovers. Then we have trouble killing our friends for the profits of a handful of corrupt psychotic outsider types.
