Dude, I'm sorry to hear about your family and friends, and that's not just talk, I mean it...but those to blame aren't "over there"...they're HERE...and most work in banking, and government. Half of Bush's fucking cabinet used to work at Goldman Sachs.
These are the folks to blame, not others, in other countries, who are doing nothing more than trying to provide for themselves, and their own.
The reason we aren't at the top of our game is multifaceted, but until we start educating our own, and caring for the health of our own, those who can and do will simply live better, work better, and produce better goods...and will continue to eat our lunch.
