What is wrong with US of America?, 7 July 2008
9/10
Author: andrej-30 from Czech Republic

Seeing this great documentary I, being an European citizen, have to ask myself the same question again and again - why do American citizens constantly reelect government officials who openly support war? There is a series of anti-war documents similar to this one and everywhere I go I hear US people talking about being fed up with war and having to do something to finally stop it. And then they go and BAM - they actually re-elect Bush, an evil mastermind of no small proportion onto his deadly throne. Well, what is this?! Is there no shame in general American public at all? Is there no democracy in America? Are all the voices similar to this document out there for vain? I am starting to think the answer is YES for no matter how absolutely the US government's pro-war lies are exposed, this tragedy is played over and over again. Shame on you, American people, that you do not even try to stop this abomination. Shame on you.
