52. hey, american screwed up royally in the past, as we're
messing up now. Of course as a war protester myself I take no responsibility for what happened in Iraq, I oppose that and always will. As far as america's past mistakes, a few of my anscestors were abolitionists. We've always been for the rights of the oppressed. But as a girl who has lived in the south for most of my life, I know what racism and oppression smells like. And I smelled it big time over there.
FYI-- most Christians in the holy land live in occupied territories. They don't get the pretty yellow license plates on their cars. And they are forced to apply and reapply on a regular basis for permits to work. That is not equal rights. That is oppression because they aren't jewish. If you want to be a democracy, than walk the walk.
