If you're really concerned with this country, perhaps you should consider removing the photograph you have in your signature of a woman who thinks the US is part of a Nazi conspiracy to take over Ukraine.

how's that for a start?

NATO is a major blood-sucking creature which, besides human blood, sucks in billions of dollars as well.
No wonder Ron Paul says that it's time to disband NATO:

This is Ron Paul’s statement before the US House of Representatives on House Resolution 997, “expressing the strong support of the House of Representatives for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to enter into a Membership Action Plan with Georgia and Ukraine.”

Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to this resolution calling for the further expansion of NATO to the borders of Russia. NATO is an organization whose purpose ended with the end of its Warsaw Pact adversary. When NATO struggled to define its future after the Cold War, it settled on attacking a sovereign state, Yugoslavia, which had neither invaded nor threatened any NATO member state.

This current round of NATO expansion is a political reward to governments in Georgia and Ukraine that came to power as a result of US-supported revolutions, the so-called Orange Revolution and Rose Revolution. The governments that arose from these street protests were eager to please their US sponsor and the US, in turn, turned a blind eye to the numerous political and human rights abuses that took place under the new regimes. Thus the US policy of “exporting democracy” has only succeeding in exporting more misery to the countries it has targeted.

NATO expansion only benefits the US military industrial complex, which stands to profit from expanded arms sales to new NATO members. The “modernization” of former Soviet militaries in Ukraine and Georgia will mean tens of millions in sales to US and European military contractors. The US taxpayer will be left holding the bill, as the US government will subsidize most of the transactions. Providing US military guarantees to Ukraine and Georgia can only further strain our military. This NATO expansion may well involve the US military in conflicts as unrelated to our national interest as the breakaway regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia in Georgia. The idea that American troops might be forced to fight and die to prevent a small section of Georgia from seceding is absurd and disturbing.

Mr. Speaker, NATO should be disbanded, not expanded.

I posted on this forum today and I expect to go to my American government class tomorrow. Does that count for something?

As NATO bosses orchestrated an embargo resulting in the deaths of half a million Iraqui children under the age of five years and another half million aged and infirm, the woman may have some 'legs' to stand on. Note I said "bosses". It seems the chief orchestrators of the embargo monster have been rejected by their own people. Then Secretary Powell, an honorable man, unable to hack up a serious 'lunger' against his Motherland, in the Senate, refered to the facts as "public relations disaster". As an American, I am more than ashamed that my nation had anything to do with such a slaughter. One may of course blame Saddams intransigence. "It takes two to Tango". As an Orthodox Christian, I am prohibited such weapons.
