WHY IN THE WORLD SHOULD/WOULD "GOD BLESS AMERICA?" [View All]

[Cyrano]

Our forbear's murdered native Americans and Mexicans (among others), to steal a continent.

We had a civil war over whether one human being should own another. The winning side didn't do much to ensure freedom for those they freed. Oh, yeah, the 1960's came along and (inadvertently)granted overwhelming and enduring political power to the former slave owners.

Vietnam happened and 59,000 Americans (and who knows how many Vietnamese) died for...what?

And right now, Americans and Iraqis are dying for...excuse me, I forgot why.

And then there were a bunch of other wars that we got involved in because of, ummm, the reason(s) elude me.

Our single noble endeavor was WWII in which "The Greatest Generation" really did save the world.

So why exactly should God bless America? Enlighten me.
