But, largely, the adult American can take actions using their votes. 
They used their votes to bring down Mr. Carter (he received Nobel 
Peace price recently) many years ago. Now, they can do it again to 
bring down this cow boy.

I saw a documentary by Phoenix TV from China. It is a documentary film 
on Iraq. The American or to be fair, the US Military used poor uranium 
bombs on Iraqi soils. The Iraqi soils and water are contaminated with 
radiation. After the war, one million children died of cancer in 5 
years time. All the bombs totally used were 6 times the atomic bombs 
in Nagasaki during 2nd world war.

Is it fair that the US can use any kind of nuclear weapons on its so 
called enemies and the enemies are not allowed to? What use we have UN 
and no nude treaties? Bullshit!

Big countries like US, Australia and their allies are becoming the 
barbarians of 21st century. They claim their rights to launch military 
campaign on foreign soils to attack "suspected" terrorist 
establishment. They cowardly bomb targets from UAV using missiles from 
high above the sky. This is war. This challenges the sovereignty of 
the attacked contries.

Can you do this to the people of that country and provide them 
technology after the war? What use? If I lost my children and home, I 
would rather have blood to pay for blood. This is never ending story 
and terrorism will go on and on forever. I hope this is not going to 
happen on me. But no one can guarantee my hope will not be shattered 
one day. Who is going to be responsible if they turn me into a 
terrorist? If I have children at home, do you think I want to have 
explosive tied to my body and turn myself into suicide bomber? Think!

I will if this happens on me. I defended myself against six gang 
members at my door front one night many years ago empty handedly. And 
I will do it again at any cost if my family and I are in danger. This 
is human nature and so called the male responsibilities. Will you? Think!

If you still have conscience and you (c.l.a.) claim you are a group of 
intelligent software engineers, exercise your vote now to bring down 
the cow boy!

Or, the existence of Ada programming language is very wrong in the 
first place because many so called reliable and precision weapons are 
programmed in Ada. Or should Ada programming language be responsible 
for the chaos? Or may be the invention of microprocessor? Or the 
technology? If technology wouldn't exist today, war is merely a face 
to face fighting.
