The Bloodbath in the U.S. Continues
The non-stop bloodshed in the U.S. continues unabated. The latest victims are a young family in Florida gunned down along a highway. While Bush keeps trying to export his idea of democracy to the rest of the world, the rest of the world reads stories like this and asks themselves if this is the kind of nation they would like to develop into. Perhaps it's time for the U.S. to turn it's remarkable capabilities inward and address the enormous inequality within it's own system, not to mention the root causes of these kinds of horrors. It can be done, but they first have to have the will to do it.
