Of course, I think the politicians here are totally out of it as well. Same-sex marriage bans, flag burning amendments, please, why not deal with something slightly more serious?
I agree Adam. Our government is notorious for setting up a smokescreen issue to cover up things they don't want receiving too much media attention.
Eh, I was trying to think of something very specific, but I can't right now. I'll get back to it, unless somebody can beat me to it with a good example.
i would disagree, at least in part. although political parties do throw up "smoke screen" issues, i think we do have a stance on these issues like israel, iraq, etc. i may disagree with our stance, but we have one.
this is not to say that our gov't is doing it all right, or that rome is all wrong. in fact, i would say that rome/vatican gets it right more than wrong. the previous pope consistantly spoke out against wars.
and finally, to be fair, i don't know what rome's official stance on the israel situation is. i should have looked into that. perhaps the pope and other religious leaders there have condemned the violence in israel.

Yeah, Rome is totally out of it.
