Sorry you feel that my comments are 'stupid', perhaps they are, but
certainly no more stupid than comments from an individual living
ourside our country and having only quite marginal knowledge of what
our problems are.  

Loved your comment "Critisiam from abroad is denied without further
comment"  Pity you don't follow your own comments occasionally... 

And while I'll certainly agree that "sharing views across nation
level" CAN be a positive factor, I would suggest that you share
POSITIVE views instead of simply bashing a country for the sake of
bashing.  

And yes, American iso0lation is certainly dangerous... especially so
when there are so many nations looking to the US for theie annual
handout.., What if we decided to simply forgo the largesse in the
future??  

Your nation.. along with many other nations... owes a huge debt of
gratitude to the United States for their past generosity.  Don't
forget that. 

I really don't care for someone who accepts my generosity and then has
the audacity to complain about the donor... And you seem to be that
type.
