...To convince me that WE'RE not evil. And then do the same for everybody else in the world.

One of the local TV stations was showing Rambo III this afternoon and I was thinking first that old saw about my nation's enemy's enemies...

...And have now arrived on the concept of somebody, somewhere, is now shooting a movie in which a heroic (Russian? North Korean? Cuban? Iranian? Venezuelan?) is going around Afganistan blowing away those evil-beyond-redemption, thrice-hated Americans and their local lackeys.

I've asked you before whether you believe that Americans are not evil, and I've been left unconvinced every time. Perhaps we karmically deserve our economy to fail, and our bridges collapsing into rivers, and our waste piles overflowing, and our criminals running amok. How can I believe otherwise?
