Fernando;

Can you truly say that you trust any news source over another? Are you serious about the BBC? Witnesses and reporters? They are everywhere and each has a different story. Add Deutsche Welle, and the various Spanish news sources, as I do. Each source has a different slant on the news. Only the news from the United States sources is incorrect. All other sources “tell the truth”. Different versions of the same events but they must be true because they are not from the United States.

I am amazed at your comments about how the United States has influenced Brazil. Now that “Brazil” is in control and the United States is no longer in the picture, everything must be perfect. We are indeed an evil people trying to control the world. It is only the United States that has ever done anything like that. All nations treat their people with respect and dignity. It is only due to the intervention of the United States that has caused disharmony amongst the peoples of the world.

By the way, United States citizens do not know anything about our government or the world. We just wait for people on Internet Forums to tell us about reality.

Why question the knowledge of a member of the forum that happens to be from the United States? You seem to have too much passion on this topic and you are now questioning peoples knowledge as well as what they say and believe.

You are dismissing the thoughts, feelings and knowledge of those of us who live in the United States. We are evil! Have you not stated this enough? What do you hope to accomplish with your words, constant references and now belittling United States citizens?

I personally think that you have gone too far in expressing your feelings towards the United States, its citizens, the way we think, what we think and how we are as a people. The constant attacks are getting tiring and personal. You may not think so but I do! Do you hope to change the world with this approach to enlightenment? Yours seems to be a one-man effort to condemn the United States for everything we have ever done and truth be damned! If it is bad it must have been due to the United States.

If I were from another planet and had been viewing your posts for the last few days I would have a very strange picture of the world.

There have been many bad things that have happened in world history. Here is just one of them. For a three year period the Japanese Military killed an average of 100,000 civilians a month during World War Two (1942-45). The Japanese government will still not admit it happened. Had we not defeated Japan who knows how many more people would have died. We should not have entered WWII. Surely Germany and Japan would have done us no harm. We just over reacted.

I may not like war (any war) but I have little to say about such events. Yes, the United States is still a world power and very visible to everyone with a television set. Nobody likes us because we lie, take over all nations of the world and kill everyone who gets in our way.

By the way I do have advanced degrees in Political Science and History so I think I have read a few books on the world and its people and governments. I personally have reservations about many of the books written by “experts”. We know that we are not perfect but it sure is getting old hearing you tell us “all about ourselves and our history”!

>>Yeah, you're right. We should have just been happy with the status-quo. Maybe if we keep our head down and don't look at them in the face, they won't notice us and they’ll leave us alone. I’m pretty sure if we had just ignored it they would eventually stop killing & torturing their own people. Or they wouldn’t continue to build WMD, or not use them while the world isn’t paying attention.

>Sorry, but couldn't understand your point here. I was talking about murdering, bodies blown in pieces, US government concerned in the $$$ of "free Iraq" reconstruction (not to talk in oil), and you're talking about...?

>Think you could see that ALL I'm posting here can be backed by BBC News. It's not me that saying that, it's LOTS of witnesses and reporters that are covering that terrible massacre, the US media is hiding from you americans. If you don't trust in the free press of UK, that's fine, keep your own truth.

>>I’m sure if the gov’t in Brazil starts killing and torturing people, you’ll want us to leave you alone too.

>Yes, we sure would want you to leave us alone! If you knew a single bit of brazilian history you'd know the the brazilian government DID TORTURED AND KILLED brazilian citizens that didn't agree with their regime (that started in 1964 WITH THE HELP OF AMERICAN GOVERNMENT), and we could get rid of that regime without ANY HELP FROM THE US GOVERNMENT. That's just FYI.

>BTW, YOU (the american government) helped Sadam Hussein to be in charge, like MANY other bloody dictators around the world, that later became "threats" to the US (or you didn't know that, as well?).
