well even i was quite defensive about the western policies but after i came to know of the sheer destruction & the utter human rights violation which resulted from the wars the United states imposed on other countries in the name of WOT, WMD,Democracy & all of this to get its hand on natural resources Read: (OIL) i had to change my views

The anguished cry of a thoroughbred racist and a white supremacist who believes that only those who had ancestors abroad the Mayflower qualify as 'real' Americans and is totally crushed when he faces the wide variety of skin colours and accents all around him, everyday. I pity him and his ilk. He is a man from the wrong place and the wrong century.

All America is hyphenated. How does it matter? They are all Americans. Is a dead Puerto Rican Marine in Afghanistan any less American than his dead lily white English/Irish American Marine buddy? Aren't both covered by the same flag on their way back home?

It is these sentiments and not the hyphenation that has the potential to destroy America.
