Well unless you are keeping tabs on the nefarious activities of the CIA then all your learnings will simply be for not. Its a sad fact but deception has been the name of the game since the end of WWII. Surely you've heard that history is written by the victor and that anyone will believe a lie once it is told enough or is said by someone important enough. I don't mean to belittle your hard work, but if it is narrowing your mind to the extent that you aren't concerned with corruption within the US, then your education won't matter. God, in my opinion, is not on the same level as humans or Hitler. And I respect no god who advocates or endorses war, god has the power to avoid such pointless suffering. People who are ok with war are often people who have lived peaceful lives, then there is the other extreme of vets and the abused, but it is more reactionary and they will tend to say that they hate war. Hitler could have been stopped far more easily if he wasn't backed by the banks and corporations that make up the now infamous military industrial complex, that Prescott Bush, George Herbert Walker, Harrimans, and Thyssens were among those so kind to build his war machine. You see, I look at the real problem, Hitler is but a man, it is those who back him that allow such tragedy. You talk of war to stop Hitler, a war to stop what? The holocaust, WWII like most wars was a holocaust unto itself. I don't prescribe to the notions of a lesser of two evils mentality, that is the shell game for the ignorant and oppressed. There are better options, like non evil options, but people who stand to gain financially would never propose them. As for the bibles contradictions, please, where did god come from, what knowledge did adam and eve posess before eating from the tree of knowledge, why would a god of love create war, how is the most powerful being at war with his own creation, lucifer, who was an angel supposedly with no soul (and no emotion) who got jealous or whatever and suddenly is as powerful as god? This line of questioning does not end untill the book itself does. This one sums it all up, Thou shalt not kill, then as you said, god told people to kill, that is called an epitamy of a contradiction. Don't let your educational title blind you from your need to further educate yourself. Its no secret that America has a severe and dark past, and for those who bother to realize the reality of human nature we keep these things in mind, and don't swallow every bit of tripe some politician, especially a president (a known posistion of lies and abuse of power) should spew. It's a fact that every year more and more information becomes declassified further proving and damning the activities of our foreign policies and inner workings. Its also just as much an assurance that such activity has not ceased but grown. WIth growing secrecy we will probably never get the chance to know the full horrors of what goes on in our names. So, as a history and political science major what words of wisdom do you have on political corruption, especially within the US? Especially between central banks, big corporations, and the enterchangability between the heads of those and the heads of government. Why do you think the world grows in hatred and fear of America every day? Because of what Bush would say? Because they hate freedom? All of course being said while Bush pushes multiple Patriot Acts and Victory Acts further destroying the very foundation of our freedoms, leaving only a final act or perhaps a word to take them away. Preach the good word and wave the pretty flag, but don't dare look behind the curtain.
