The next time someone thinks the US have a horrible government, look around in your world and be appreciative that our biggest complaints are taxes or other petty gripes.

That is terrible. But I find it perplexing that our government can shoot necessary supplies over to other countries, while it deserted many of it's own people after Hurricane Katrina.

My husband is involved in that!!! He's on the 31st MEU, floating on a boat right outside their borders waiting for them to let them come in so they can provide aide.
Those poor people, sitting there and suffering while the rich, greedy politicians hold out for more financial aid.

Yes, because we all know they fabricated this story for their personal agenda.

I know, right. I mean, look at this news report. It's so obviously biased to support Big Money (in this case, home depot.)

I agree that there is a lot of special interests involved in some of our government's motives/actions, and that certain entities have strong influence over our media sources. But I do think some real news filters through the mainstream media! I just try to maintain a healthy level of skepticism, and an open mind.

Are you living under a rock?
Here, this is from fox news. Maybe you'll believe it now since it isn't from CNN.

Its disaster relief, it has absolutely nothing to do with oil, there is no alterior(sp?) motive to this.

I have no idea what this has to do with the Myanmar's government refusing their own people relief aide? It's not our government refusing them food, it's their own. For what reason, I dunno.
Our government is a business. They shop around for prices that will help our economy. WTH is wrong with wanting to have a good economy and strong currency worth?
