Americans are such hypocrites lol.
"OMG THEY SHOULD NOT BE TAKING OTHER PEOPLES LAND!"
Okay US History time
-Christopher Columbus "discovers" America.
-The "white man" takes land from the Natives
that in itself just makes any american who's only thought is "taking land is bad" a hypocrite if you like living here.
not to mention the going to Africa and getting slaves part of American history as well.
Later on, the Rebels fight off the Red Coats, taking land from the British in the name of America.
Fighting in my opinion is dumb. Why should people die fighting for something they will never see because they are dead? People just cant be civilized and talk it out and share like in kindergarten. I guess in their point of view however, they die for something they believe in. Would rather die for a cause than be a lost one.
Also if you are saying you don't care about this war, you are an idiot. This WILL affect you in the long run because whoever has control over that part of the world has control of most of our foreign oil. I dunno about you but I'd rather not be paying $8 a gallon. Also allies of the US could get involved which may force our hand to lend military support may it be guns or man, adding more bloodshed to our names. But yknow, we sit here in our houses and beds at night, and not give a **** about the people living off eating rodents and sleeping in the mud thinking that is something called comfortable.
All in all, I hate the American way of thinking, I hate war, and I hate being old enough to understand that these too are people, who fight for something they believe in, like George Washington or MLK fought for freedom.
I don't pick a side in this war however.

The U.S. is apart of the UN and is only one of the backers of Israel. They are not alone in this situation therefore they shouldn't take all the hate. The U.S. is not backing Israel over land simply it's defense. Not sure where the idea of land and the U.S. came from. I agree my country has a bad history on land claims, and will always be hated there, but that is what man does. Since the idea that a stone could strike one down. Slaves were also in the business before America was established and after. We even fought a civil war indirectly over it and lost over 600,000 lives over this. Had we not fought a civil war our nation may still be divided over slavery. Had we not fought for independence the UK may have continued it's expansion. Had we not continued west, then another superpower would have in our place, had we not fought in WWI then more European lives would have been lost, had we not fought in WWII then Europe may have fallen to Germany. The only war I disapprove of is Vietnam and the extension of our current fighting in the Middle East. There is more history to your lesson than you think.
