Actually it does bring me a very much peace of mind knowing that I'm not the only one in the world thinking this way, because I didn't expect Americans and Europeans to agree with me, but that only means that there are still humanity in this world :)
More people agree with you than you might imagine. We often feel powerless while our governments act in our name. There is a strong distaste amongst the public for meddling in the business of other countries, particularly invading them as we do so. Much of the last twenty years has been shameful.
The biggest casuality has been the public of each country thinking the public of another country are against them (and vice versa). From experience, everyday people get along just fine regardless of colour, religion, ideology, or country of birth (once per year, I attend an event with people of 150+ nationalities and it's about the most joyous thing in my calendar).
The only problem I have is with our political leaders starting conflict (as if I agree with it) and then feeding me propaganda about another country so that I think it's somehow right to invade.
I think we all know that all politicians care about is money and status, they don't give a fuck about people, to them it's just a job to make money, I also feel sorry for those Marines and the US soldiers, I understand that they have to do it to provide for their families, and if they had the choice they won't be part of it.
Yesterday I watched "Buried" and I was actually rooting for the American.
Is it normal to think that the Marines are terrorists?

We do not approve and we want it to stop.
