and including bush, cheney, and the oil conglomerates are not going to be happy until they are able to use OUR soldiers to completely obliterate the Middle East and surrounding countries.

We may not agree with how they perceive their religion; we already acknowledge they have been ruled by autocrats, monarchs, and warlords for centuries. This makes it so much harder to achieve social change... it's inbred so deeply. But what we in the West have been trying to do is to completely eliminate all the knowledge and beauty of the area. Bomb it back to smithereens so all we see is a Mars-scape of destruction. We all will be so much poorer for this... and that's not to even touch on the tragic evil visited upon the people.

I've all but shut down with this latest blow from trump. He's got us already in Ecuador... we're still "doing" Venezuela... and now he's uttering Cuba next... and he has the audacity to want the Peace Prize! The evil has overwhelmed me. All I want to say to the world is "I'm so sorry... honestly, we didn't do this. The election was stolen from us and no one could (or would) help get us out of the mess."
