I'm agree with both of you, but Mr. Alicea recall something that is in the
felling of most of the inhabitant of american continent..... that also are
american do you know that? And is the external US policy, most of the time
negative. But thanks a ...... we are not so fanatic, even that, never as I
said before, never a human life can be sacrifice but any political reason.
We expect of the first nation, a behavior acord its majesty, its
development, although no means its has the most highest caracteristc in
others areas, and said that and don't want to ofense anybody OK? No US
citizen, No any citizen of the world can be target by fanatics and less by
political reason that regards unique and exclusively to the presidents and
its colaborators.
Who can said that is the best in everything?, The same argument can be said
by United Kindom, Netherland, France, etc. The importance in this events
its the high disparity of development, the religion (and for some nation
it is the base of their lives) and how it cam be mixed for not to force the
extremities. But when some nations only knows war around them, whem childs
arise inside the wars, what we can expect? Only violence, angriness but
for complete the view enforced by religion.......
We are living over a bomb for to long time and it is begining to give us
the firstable sistoms, Hope the liders of the world can understand this in
time.
And the Unions Nations must be realy take the horn's cow in theirs
hand...and stop to be so pacific around all the conflicts that are
developing actually in the world. We talking about thousand of humans
dead/killed not only by starvetion but for absurdities religions and dogs
of war.....
