Czuch: I was very impressed by it. You are a thinking man and you communicate well.

I would only say a couple of things, that I hope you will think about and perhaps research, in time.

A lot of the poverty that you saw in the rest of the world stems from the neo-colonialism of exploitation from the Western powers. America is now the strongest neo-colonial power in the world. There are no working standards or protections at all there. That's why our companies build there, and employ child labor, etc. We also destroy democratic movements (it is one of the missions of the CIA), replace them with strong men who benefit personally by our removal of the natural resources of the countries in question.

The other thing I would say is, I believe that other nations see America more truly than we see ourselves. They are those who are impacted by our foreign policiy They do not believe that we are spreading freedom or building democracy. They see that those countries we oversee become poorer & more politically corrupt, for the most part. We have overseen the countries of Central America for ages now, for an example. We've done some truly terrible things there.

What people in other countries may misunderstand, however, is that the American people themselves do not perceive their country as corrupt, as you rightly said. They feel we are doing good in the world. If they didn't, they would demand things change. The hard part, from my perspective, is getting the American people to see what a bad world citizen our nation has become. As an American, I feel that to be my duty, as unpopular & unthankful a task as it is.
