Kristina,

I was saddened by your posting as it is inappropriate at this time,
but I was angered because you characterize "The Good Neighbor"
negatively for containing "...misunderstandings if not downright
lies..." You have made the accusations but you have not backed up a
single example. Thus, you are guilty of slander by generalization.  

Is the conduct of the United States pristine white and pure? of course
not. Has it made mistakes? of course. But it is a country, overall,
where it's citizens have and know freedom, and a country that offers
opportunity to all.  Why else do people come by the millions, both
legally and otherwise to be a part of it?  The answer should be
obvious.

Americans, and especially the people who lost their loved ones, are in everyone's thoughts at the moment. That is just and right after this pointless violence.

So, in the small way I can assist you achieve that, I suggest that everyone that keeps spreading this so called "Tribute to the Unites States" get them self a history book. The piece is full of misunderstandings, if not downright lies. I understand that there are many Americans who are shocked and want to feel that they are great, do that. You are a great country, but. Spreading things like this is making you open for accusations of ignorance as well as arrogance.

Once the sender (another European) had attached "There are some fucking stupid people around in the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - don't give people the opportunity to think that. Be proud, but keep the profile low enough (and correct!) to keep the support you've got from the rest of the world.
