KB I agree wholeheartedly with your comments. With 20 years of travel to 25+ countries and after having living in a foreign country I returned to attend a State university here in NJ.

What an eye opener. I could never have imagined the concerted effort by a US educational institution to brainwash young minds. In short, if you are a white male of European descent you were part of a vast history of people who have exploited females and people of every other of race and nation. What is interesting to consider is the reaction of our US citizen "victims" verses the reaction of the foreign students of victimized nations attending the classes.

I am sure you are familiar with the theme; the USA is strong because of the cheap slave labor. Europe is rich because of the slave trade and the riches exploited from Africa and the Americas. Most foreigners I have met know the problem of their country is the legal and political institutions, in a word corruption.

Most every foreigner I ever met even if they resented some of the things the USA did to their country, still would give most everything they had to obtain a green card and to prosper under the opportunities offered here.

I am tired of hearing that we stole someone else's share of the global economic pie. We have earned our share of the economic pie and there is more than enough opportunity for others to earn their share by developing a larger pie.

Fascists like Osama Bin Laden are not concerned by inequality, only with strict obedience to their ideology. Islamic fundamentalists are concerned with one overriding action, imposing their will on others.
