Well, I dont intend to make this a political argument, but since I was addressed personally, I will respond.

First of all, you dont know what I do and what I dont know. I happen to have a degree in history and quite an extensive knowledge on the actions of the "benevolent american goverment".

Your goverment (whether you like it or not) has sponsored all the rightwing goverments in SouthAmerica that slaughtered thousands of people in your so called fight against the "evil empire" of communism.

I am Argentinian (although living in Madrid) and in my country my mother and father were incarcereted simply because of their political beliefs and had to flee the country when released or they would have gotten killed. The US played a BIG PART in the support and constitution of the Dictatorship in Argentina. In Chile, more of the same. They overthrew Allende (rightfully elected president) and Pinochet, one of the greatest genocides in history, took power, supported by Mr. Henry Kissinger and the US goverment. Or Nicaragua, where you trained the Contras against the Sandinists and more than 200,000 were viciously murdered.

HECK! You trained them in the School of the Americas, a place were all the Southern Hemisphere Military went through before starting killing their own people.

I dont even want to get in the subject of Afganistan. You trained them, you bought them the weapons, and now you are killing them. The same happened in Irak (you trained them, you bought them the weapons, and then you killed them when Iran was the "evil empire").

I could post a hundred thousand examples of the "kindness" of the US goverment, but I lack the time and space. Yes, there are people there that is good people, like in all places, but in all truth the actions of your goverment have been of opression and murder to most of the nations in the world.
