A CNN poll makes me feel ill



Granted this is not a scientific poll. 14 years ago on Thursday the US was attacked. Yet Americans are willing to attack other countries. Don't they think that people in those countries are as afraid as they were on 9/11?

Does a bomb landing on a person in the US feel any worse than a bomb landing on a person in Syria, Pakistan, Yemen or any other country that the US is bombing?

What military action of the US has worked out well in the last 20 years?

How many groups have the US armed only to end up fighting them a few years later?

When the US was attacked, it only made people angry, seeking revenge. Why don't Americans think that their attacking other countries will only increase the desire for revenge and perpetuate war?

The willingness to cause misery to other people sickens me.
