"...but if its in their intrest then loss of life in far away lands is not a concern unless it directly affects their own life's."

Sorry, but I strongly disgree. For instance, when you ask many about Vietnam one of the striking images that come to mind is that of a little girl running down the road with her clothes burned off from napalm. We as a country have made mistakes, Vietnam being a big one but I sincerely believe that the majority of americans have compasion for fellow humans beings all around the world. You forget, we come from all around the world... we are a nation made up of the world's people.

"And just how valuable is the US constitution? It seems it ca nbe changed to who ever wants to and can weild the big stick. The IRS and DEA for example."

The U.S. constitution stands as strong as ever. And it's not that easy to change it... sure, sometimes abuses occur, but as in the case of the IRS, eventually they get reeled in. That's how our system works.

The different perspective in your articles is interesting... but I wonder if it's main stream thought or minority opinion.
