Truly Ironic
The American Government has become that which it most fears in other nations, that it has become a rogue nation. A nation that does whatever it wants to in protection of its borders and its citizens' way-of-life, even if that extends beyond its own borders and penalizes its own citizens for excercising their human rights.
I remember about a year ago when an FBI spokeperson was defending the detention of certain individuals who were changing flights in an American airport. These people were flying from one continent to another, and their destination was not even in the US, but once they were on American soil, they were detained for sevreal days, had their possessions searched and seized, and were deported back to their country of origin. No charges were ever laid and no explanation givien.
In commenting on this, the FBI said that the only gaurantee that any non-American has once they are on American soil is that they will not be subjected to gross physcial abuse. Anything else is sanctioned by the administration. In essence, you have NO RIGHTS WHATSOEVER even if you're simply changing flights.
So, I do not travel to the states, I so not buy American products when I can help it, and I try not to support the American economy in any way. The truly unfortunate thing is that I know many American citizens and I really like all of them. But the American machine is out of control, and the entire world is hostage to this lone super power.
Peace,
Pierre
