Looking Out From The West

Thank you for allowing me the chance to get to know you

I am from the US.  I am no one special.  A nurse from the Midwest.  Right in the middle of Middle America.  I am getting tired of the same US perspective, spin, lies, whatever you wish to call it today.  It is basically all the same, just from different perspectives:  One Democratic, one Republican.  I want the average person to know that the common American, myself, doesn't subscribe the current governments' handling of foreign affairs.  I would never propose to go to war with anyone, for any reason.  Perhaps I am naive and foolish but that is how I feel.  The killing of all the Iraqis bothers me, along with the killing of Americans.  Killing is killing.  It ends your life.  
I believe in an afterlife but I believe this life gives me an opportunity to expand my world view so as to become more understanding.  Someone wise, I am not sure who, once said it is better to understand than to be understood.  This is why I post my first ever blog on this site. I could have chosen a mainstream US blog site but the responses would have been predictable and I am hoping for more.  I hope you will take the time to get to know me.  Thank you.

Congratulations!
