granted, since the industrial revolution started in Britain its no surprise that most scientific development has been in the west, however over the past 200 years or so the west is also responsible for some ofthe most destructive wars in history (as well as some of the most destructive weapons).

the war on terror is a useful tool for this Administration to use in its
recent powergrab, Al Qaeda is no real threat to America and should be
dealt with as any other criminal organization. I will say that going into Afghanistan was correct and if Al Gore had been elected he would have done the same, although probably not as well as this administration.
Credit where credit is due.
