"It is the first time I see the US doing everything wrong. Gives money to the families of the victims of the WTC as if this would repair the damage done. Without the capitalist logic. Pride rather than reason. ...Little Bush (Brazilians call Big Bush the father and Little Bush the son) wastes an historic opportunity to change directions and change the US for the better in this moment the whole world stands behind it and the American people is in total solidarity.
They are forgetting that the US is a Christian country. They are forgetting tolerance and respect for the individual. All things that made the US big, strong and rich are being forgotten. Tooth for tooth, eye for eye, will in the end leave everyone toothless and blind."

This -above- is a message from my friend a Brazilian immigrant that leaves in California. The guy is more American than most Americans ever will be. Talk anything against the US system or the capitalist system and he'll come out on you like a tiger.

That's why I say: The US needs plane loads of immigrants to dilute the 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' of the WASP mindset.

It is those guys like my friend -he wrote the message from in Shangai where he's selling US products- who are the 'soldiers'. Not the guys in uniform. Forget this and I come to the conclusion that US has peaked and will only decline from now on.
