is this really a peaceful nation?, can any of these bombings be justifed?
president bush looks rather hypocritical when he says "a nation bult on fundamental values that rejects hate,rejects violence,rejects murders and rejects evil" as rather the oppisite would seem to be the case from first glance at this list of bombings.

There's also been a murder in every state in the US, in every year for who know's how long. Are we also a nation of murderers?
Do you have a true understanding of the cause for these bombings you listed? I can honestly say I don't know about all of them. Some of them are obvious, some not so obvious. I would be interested in hearing a synopsis of each event before you attach them, as evidence, to such a statement. If you don't know specifics about each event, then you're just listing meaningless factoids.
People who defend themselves, their families, and their friends aren't by nature violent, and neither are nations. Unfortunately, sometimes people must resort to violence to protect life itself. It's certainly not a "pretty" thought, but it's realistic.
