Its not just Americans that are dumb and programmed it is the entire human race. We all have the unconscious enjoyment of death and killing and war! Although we may not see it it is there. As much as we want it world peace will never come, the killing will always be there.

Americans are so dumbed down and programmed to the point where it is sad...

Fascinang. I thought, at the time,that at least we learned some bitter leassons from Vietnam. Apparently not. Will we EVER learn? Or will we continue to allow ourselves to be manipulated by lies, flag-waving and bumper stickers? Our president, no matter who he is, is a fallible, ego-driven human being who can only lie us into disastrous foreign wars if we ALLOW him to do so.
