America The Shameful

Ok, so the Italian journalist, Giuliana Sgrena, was released from her captors in Iraq. Apparently her news agency was critical of the invasion of Iraq. And now and Italian Intelligence Agent, who was instrumental for her release, is dead, the U.S. shot him while they were approaching a checkpoint. And if it weren't for him, she would be dead, because he hurled himself on top of her to save her life. And, now, she has a piece of U.S. shrapnel in her shoulder now (a chip on her shoulder.) I am so like not liking being an American right now--our country is shady--capital S. We are sending so many fucked up messages to the world right now. The people of the world don't like us. In other news, there are song birds outside my window picking at the seeds I laid out in the snow!!! YAY!
