How about Alive in Kosovo?

A million people got chased from there the past 2 decades by the albanians and the Kristallnach (this one made the german one look like a picnic), then our bombing helped chased another 300,000 serbs, jews, gypsies and other dirty races and now you have pockets of the remainder which live like cattle behind barbed wires.

How about Alive in Haiti were we kidnapped that countries president and supported armed murderers *who we armed)?
Kevin Pina does an amazing job there but of course he is not going by the party line so he might not be ripe for this..

Things are hard in Baghdad? No shit?
Nothing to see or hear there, bomb the crap out of country and that’s what happens.

Maybe its good in a way to see the misery the US instills in countries around teh world (my best man is chilean so sept11 has a different meaning to them).
We play god in so many countries that we totally forget the effects of our lies in places like the balkans or persian gulf.

Short of a couple of bombing raids over Boston, maybe seeing what we brought will kick someone into realizing what happened.

Then I remember that there is probably half the country taht still believes taht Saddam was responsible for 911, so probably not.
