I nevr could get a handle on the innocents in a war.  Fine for the US to
firebomb or nuke Japan and kill thousands of people that were not in the
military.  But do not kill one or two that are not in the military in
those Arab countries.  The way I look at it if the countries over there
do not want the civilians killed get rid of the terrorists.

The Arabs do not really want to fight, just agervate each other.  They
should get in an all out war and get it over with.  I am almost for
giving each of those countries a couple of short range nuclear missles
and tell them to eiter shoot or shut up.

There is only one terrorist

 Yes. Iran.
 

It is the US making war away from their bed to sell weapons!
That nothanyahoo and shitlensky are sales agents.
even kids shooting each other with automatic guns, even at schools.

 That makes news but is rare. Other countries have lunatics using
knives.
 The real killer here is Chinese fentanyl.

Fentanyl will kill no matter where it was originally synthesised. What's killing US addicts is a society that leaves the poor vulnerable to that kind of temptation. Harm reduction works, but it costs more than the US is willing to spend on the less-well-off portion of the population.

I am not sure evolution has a place for a species like that.
Most of the world is uniting now against that US

 Prowl the world with Street View. Most places now look like a suburb
of Dallas.
 And the rim of the USA is a network of people-diodes all pointing in.
 And you speak English fairly well.

American don't.

I was shopping for Japanese gifts in Ngoya. Everything was western.
All the baseball caps were lettered in English, most from US teams.
The clothes were all Levis and tee shirts. I did find one tiny part of
one store that sold Japanese stuff, staffed by one very lonely old
lady.

You found your way to a shopping area set up to suck in American tourists.
The lonely little old lady was probably heavily subsidised window dressing.
The tourism industry does make sure that tourists get what they want.
The Australian branch delivers a lot of kangaroos and wallabies. Koala's are more difficult and platypuses pretty much impossible.
