If there was no nuclear waste left ? It would be horrible, on emotional level, in my opinion too, and I would never do it. But maybe consuming earth would go a BIT down, when 1/5 of earths population would disappear. There could be some benefits, but no, not worth it. I think global warming is unstoppable.

For one thing, it's true that most Americans are ignorant of what happens outside of our country. Hell, most people barely know what's going on outside their town or city. Does that mean we are selfish? Possibly; but now we must understand that we have our own lives to live and have our own issues to worry about. Before we can go out and start poking our noses everywhere and criticizing everyone else of their wrongdoings, we need to fix our own issues. Have we done such things yet? Some will argue yes, but I personally think not. And does that give us an excuse to not be aware of what is happening elsewhere? Absolutely not. So I suppose it all depends on your priorities and opinions...and our government and people still need to set them straight, but so do the countries in the Middle East. I'm not fully aware of the specific events/conflicts between the Jewish and Islamic people, but from I am able to gather, I think the majority of the Middle East despises the US because of our support for Israel in the Israel-Palestine conflict. After the British cut up now modern-day Israel, the United States became involved and took a stance with the UK/Israel. So now, it is the, "Either-You're-With-Me-Or-Against-Me," type of mentality the Middle East assumed, unfortunately. But we must also remember that the media tends to only focus on the very negative aspects of the events occurring in the world. When you turn on the news, what do you see? People dying, fires destroying property, accidental deaths, corruptions/scandals, more death, etc. It's actually very depressing watching the news. You very rarely see any of that stuff that could possibly make you happy, like animals/pets, awards, etc. The media needs to sell their story, and what better way to do this than by capturing extremist groups rallying through the streets shouting, "Death to America," bearing AK-47s and RPGs, and burning the American flag or some other effigy? It's radically different and Americans are not used to witnessing such behavior occurring in the streets or down the block. So far, I've only seen this type of material in the news here in America - that, and bombings, which lead to deaths and scores of injuries (obviously). I believe people should also blame the media more, because when they broadcast just this material, it can move and upset people (but of course, we should also know how to control ourselves, but that's a slightly different subject). My solution? I believe communication is key (haven't gotten that far, just wait for more details :P).

I think we should target neighboring countries and build our relations. We should also make it a priority to express that these factions is not a threat. 911 was embarrassing and so is the world known fear that followed.

The suggested idea that came up? Just nuke the place to bits and pieces. Oh, sure it would kill millions, but that's the price of freedom. I mean, look at WWII. We killed thousands of people over there to end it, so it's totally justified in doing it again, except this time on a slightly larger scale, no? Does this not bother anyone, or is this actually an idea that American people actually considerred. Like someone else brought up on Semiotic before, people across the globe witness what Americans call terrorist threats on a day to day basis. Americans witnessed this once in quite a while - I'm not saying it's insignificant and I'm not belittling the loss - but when they suffered this threat once, would this idea of blowing the place up even be considered half real. Would somebody actually even consider killing millions of innocent people so they don't have to worry about witnessing another 9/11? I'm interested in your opinions. The discussion over there really bothered me, as people took it very lightly. Well.....being American I can honestly say that not everyone feels this way. The ones I've noticed saying things like this are the ones who are for the war and are extremists IMO. I just get tired of people reading what a handful of Americans post on a forum and automatically assume we're all the same and share the same views. We don't.
