Are we? Does the average American TV viewer know our opinions? How is the
coverage of these opinions in the American media?

By using passive voice you try to hide the fact that those who started
this war can stop it. Please don't try to mask a decision as a fact.

Sure he is. There are others like him. Some get your support (your 
governments support, to be precise), some don't.

According to your TV, he started with his family, and of course, after
aquiring Europe, he will surely try to ursurp the United States. 

This is paranoia.

This war should not have been started at all. This was indeed a viable
option, because sanctions started to begin to work. Before that, there
have been other options, which have been missed. 

>Enough Said!

Enough killed. Stop the war, PLEASE.
