If I'm not mistaken, we no longer have slavery or governmental discrimination. We've fixed our mistakes in the past.------------------ You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

To be perfectly blunt, I don't see things like Dresden and Nagasaki being wiped clean overnight. The good ol' U.S. of A., like every other nation, will always have blemishes.

Strangly Omega, I disagree with your rather narrow view.Certainly there are many things that the United States has yet to "put right." Among these are past incursions into Cenral and South American countries such as Guatemala and Chile. Does the name Salvador Allende ring a bell? United States support for dictators still has the southern half of the western hemisphere in turmoil. And I don't think we need to get going on the whole blood for oil issue do we? ------------------ Ohh, so Mother Nature needs a favor? Well maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts, and plagues and poison monkeys.

Come now Sol, I haven't seen a good argument for quite some time. But you are quite right. Post editied. ------------------ Ohh, so Mother Nature needs a favor?

Bleah, bleah!What, you other countries don't use oil? News to me. For every Dresden, a Coventry. For each Nagisaki, an Auschwitz. Who supports monarchies? And although we greatly screwed over the original inhabitants of our own country, we weren't the ones who nearly drove the Australian Aboriginals to extinction, as well. And if you really want to talk about large scale stains on the record, and open up old wounds, I don't recall any US'ers participating in the Crusades and the Inquisition. Let the argument die, for we all live in glass houses. ------------------ "Nobody knows this, but I'm scared all the time... of what I might do, if I ever let go." -- Michael Garibaldi
