Pathetic and truly disgusting... You actually think the US is NOT engaged in terrorism around the world? You are a disgrace to those freedom loving individuals that fought for freedom against oppression of the STATE. I suppose a few years ago, you would be writing against the evils of communism. You would easily fit in in N. Korea-- If you only knew what a pawn you truly were... again, pathetic.
