Haim, regarding your post earlier in the day...

It is easy to fault the obvious villians as is evidenced in your tirade. I am sure that some of what the world (and you) feels about the US is based on envy. What I can't accept from you is the assumption that all of the problems of this world are the result of America. For example, you mention the problems in Indonesia and the former USSR. Did we cause these problems? Haven't the Russian people had to put up with corrupt, selfish rulers for a thousand years? What about all the years of the Indonesian dictator, Sukarno, who lined his and his family's pockets with gold? The US doesn't have a monopoly on greed.

It is my opinion that greed is a basic human nature, always ready to spring forth if given the opportunity. That the rich US has the opportunity to exploit this power is not a condemnation of the US, but of "us," the people of this world.

Humbly,

lanceinfla
