I saw that and thought...wow, we just killed 5 people in another sovereign nation with our drones. And nobody here blinks an eye over it.

Can anyone here even imagine what the reaction would be if another country sent a drone into the U.S. and killed 5 of our citizens with it?

And we do it everyday.

I don't think history is going to look at what our govt. has been doing with ANY favor at all.

I love the U.S. , but I HATE the federal govt. and what it has become over the decades.

To all of you people outside the U.S., you should know that the shit our govt. does has nothing to do with how the people here really are.
Our govt. now has so many people here dependent and they keep us all fat, happy, and totally misinformed (just look at how aggressively they go after "whistle blowers")
I have yet to see AJ America, but I am happy to hear it is causing as much thought [for you] as it is. I am sticking with AJ English for the time being. Once you get into it, domestic news is tough to swallow.
