This poem must be fucking brilliant if it can instigate such emotions in people. It definately doesn't deserve to be taken off.

If I may be so bold as to put forward my humble opinion, I don't disagree with Christianity. I'm not religious, because I'm not sure what to believe in.
However, I don't agree that America is a force of peace across the world-in fact, America and the West contributes hugely to the world's problems. For example, how about Iraq? Sure Saddam is insane and dangerous, but America is so determined to invade for their own purposes that they are willing to endanger the world.
And who is currently oppressing other Middle-Eastern nations so the only way they can respond is through terrorism?

It seems obvious to me that the large percentage of America doesn't give a fuck about the outside world because they're happy to keep their cheap oil and not have to waste time saving the rainforest-and therefore the world.

That's my rant over, sorry it took so long, but it's an issue I take very seriously, and would like to hear the American view on this. If I'm drastically wrong on this, then please let me know, but I don't think I am.
