Why do people automatically go to ww II when the word they see the word "allies". Folks, we have allies right now. You do know this right? We didnt stop with allies after the war. |

@[Imnotsure:17431] We, the US as well as many large allied countries have accidently bombed schools in recent years. This is written from the point of view of a journalist who is stuck reporting on the violent terror and such throughout the world. NOT a columbine. That was an assumption in a blog and not supported by the band. |
