Open up your mind, then open up your eyes. Don't let images and falsehoods blind what is actually happening. Try not to be ignorant and learn as much about both sides before making any rash descisions. This is a the biggest problem with the American education system. We were taught and our kids are both brought up learning America is heroic and perfect. Meanwhile through out my whole public schooling i didn't not learn about the Vietnam War, quickly went over the Spanish American War. THese two wars (not including the current one) have been faught for very few valid reasons. No wonder i was never taught about them, minus the battles that were faught. I was never taught the legislation or the reasons for them. We were also taught that Columbus was a hero, meanwhile he killed and enslaved the majority of the indians. We need educational reform that does not seem to be provided by any politician to do date.

I always wondered if the Canada or many European nations are brought in an educational system where they are taught that their country of origin made mistakes?
