I would never suggest America is worse than the terrorists. I  
suggested that evil is a childish explanation for terror leading to  
that nonsensical conclusion.

I believe in America, as an ideal, as a potential, and in many ways  
still as a reality. I feel its principles, when upheld, are the  
finest hope humanity possesses today. Indeed I accepted US  
citizenship last year because I love the vision and opportunity of  
America.

I also left the US last year to return to live in Australia - after  
almost a decade in the US as an immigrant - because I tired of the  
compromise and corruption of America. Australia suffers these same  
ills, yet it retains a grace America has completely lost: the spirit  
of commonwealth.

Anyway I happily agree with Bob that politics is off-topic here and  
will check mine in future.

Peter Merel.
