My Friend,

Greetings.

I agree with you demcoracies can be quite vicious. We have Afghanistan, Iraq, Guantanamo bay and Abu Gharaib prisons as proof and even when they were not challenged. The Axis of Evil is another Blood laden concept that Democracies came up with even when they are not threatened as was the case of Iraq.

What can I say about America except the best Americans I have found are in America. They are good, decent., honest, helpful people who would go out of their way to help you if you are a stranger. Once they step out of the USA, they become stuck up XYZs. I say this from experience because I was in the , .USA in 2004-2005. Unhappily it is thought like yours that gives the USA a bad name.

As for your last paragraph, I don't know if you are trying to out do President Bush or his VP. Your comments are Rabid, dangerous and can lead to a lot of hate. I don't think we need that. I say this as a very proud Muslim and a Pakistani. All we have to do is stop your overflights into Afghanistan and stop your logistics too. Perhaps you can then say good bye to the NATO troops and the US troops in Afghanistan. Remember it is a Muslim state, The Islamic republic of Pakistan, that permits your presence in Afghanistan. What would be the consequences should we decide to stop? Nuclear war? the destruction of the US naval fleet in the Gulf? How will you live without oil? perhaps US$400 per barrel seems a good price to you? get real we need each other. Let us live in peace and emphasise the positive instead of hate mongering. It si the flavour of the times to bad mouth Muslims. Don't forget we hate Osama Bin laden as much as you do.
