That was a different time though. The USA also had segregation laws in most southern states.
Now we have a black man as Secretary of State, and he is VERY popular. I won't claim that we're perfect. I would also like to see our leaders acknowlege that more often. I don't think we westerners are the perfect nation, just the most likely to get there first, though that is mostly just a fantasy idea anyway.
We back and fund Israel because if we didn't, I really beleave alot of muslim nations would invade and slaughter them in a brutal war. A second Holacaust.
I think they may be right to demand that Israel should be disbanded and the land should rightfully belong to the Palestinians, but they lost the right to ask that from the United States when their people jump up and down on TV celebrating what happened on September 11.
