They are Angry, But They do not Want to Know, They are Angry

This, I think, summarizes the American situation now.

They are angry because they have been treated badly - which is certainly true, in the most fundamental sense. They have been treated badly, in so many ways - they cannot think of it, without flying into an uncontrollable rage.

But, at the same time, they know they are not supposed to have these feelings - and are not supposed to do anything because of them.

They are living in a pressure cooker, with the heat turned on high. And the result is unpredictable violence, that is destructive of everything - including themselves.

America is locked into a war in Afghanistan, its longest war ever - and it seems to want it to last forever. This is not just a foreign war, it is the outward manifestation of a war inside America, they do not want to see.

Is there a solution for this? Yes there is, in theory. People have to recognize this problem, then they can deal with it.

But things have gone too far, for this to happen. Some situations cannot be fixed, and this is one of them.

"What?" You may be saying, "Some situations cannot be fixed?" Yes, and they are fairly common - and have resulted in the downfall of many empires. And are causing the downfall of the empire we are living in right now.

We are living in interesting times. How they will turn out, no one knows.
