What prevents Americans from seeing the blood on their hands?

I can talk about our gov't, because I believe in democracy, and I believe that I can help change it. I see the injustice of our gov't past, and yes Bill Clinton became the first president in history to say we're sorry for slavery, but that was too little too late. From slavery, to Native genocide, to Japanese camps, to segragation, to Jim Crow laws, to racial profiling that continues today, to police brutality that continues today, our country does not have a good track record. I can see our faults, and I am one that wants to see change, and am willing to change them. As the lead power of the world, we have a responsiblity of setting an example to the world, not bully a region just because we don't like them.

yuo shouldnt apologize for any of it. You had no control over what happended a very long time ago. its in the past, and thats where it should stay.

i'll admit...any loss of innocent life is tragic...but when you say you won't apologize for people that kill the americans...you're also defending people that are blowing up their fellow muslims for no reason, that bombed spain for providing aid to iraq.....bombed a NIGHT CLUB in bali....a NIGHT CLUB!.....people that just went out to have a good time, died for no reason at all
those 15,000 iraqis died in a war zone, while it's shitty that they died on purpose or on accident is common sense...but you don't see american's bombing shit in other muslim countries, just because they're having a hard time with the iraqi insurgents, and as far as i know, they're not purposly bombing just innocent civilians
that thing with israel....all i'm gonna say is....it's not the states....israel is just one of many countries that the US gives aid to.....israel was given that land by the UN and i believe they have a right to defend it....just because a poor ass muslim country doesn't have a powerful military, doesn't give them the excuse to bomb whatever they want...kill as many people as they want and think that there won't be any retalliation or repurcussions

I think what keeps us from seeing the blood on our hands is we see our blood on other people's hands. You or me, I pick me EVERY FUCKING TIME.

All you gotta do is look at the stats and you'll see shit isn't right.

my man slow your roll. I dont defend Al Qaeda. I am against them and all Wahhabis. Im talkin about the American mentality that we Muslims are uncivilized and all terrorists because we dont condemn the extremists but share the same anti American sentiment. The American mentality does not understand its own govts history and does not recognize its sins. It simply sees the repercussions of those sins. We Muslims have experienced the brutality of Western policy. Thats why we say Fuck Bush before we say Fuck Zarqawi.
