It's always good to see posters come into a nearly 50 page thread, and not have any context of the story, the topic, or even try to read through a few pages to get an idea what the discussion is about.
Because plopping into a 50 page thread, and nonchalantly making ignorant views, is always the best way to approach an important topic.
Just the fact you, and the poster you quoted had to note that you're not American, shows that you lack the capacity to even understand what this issue is about. This is not an "American" thing, this is a crime against humanity thing, so you can get that out of the way first and foremost if you feel you want to actually participate in this discussion.
