I am aware of all of this! But I like to try and improve the situation, not just criticize it. If we go down to just criticising things, there is a lot to say about every country. Yes, I completely 100% agree with you. Nothing justifies those deaths and there have been a lot, but my job (working with the state dep.) is to get people to look past some of the stupid mistakes our politicians are making and half of our own nation is against and look at the better aspects of the US. Many diplomats and people here don't like the policies, but instead of criticising them we are trying to change them.
I am not just an American. I am a Pakistani first and am perfectly capable of criticising he US...I just choose not to do it, there is already too much negativity about it!
but yes, I respect your opinion!
