It is good that we (the real people of our different countries) can talk and know that the people is not the problem. It is the greedy people that are power and money hungry that keep everything at odds. They manipulate media and politics to satisfy their special interests, and there is no regard or respect for "the people" on either side of the situation.

The internet is a good thing, because we can know our friends (the people) in Russia, Greece, etc., are not about hating and being suspicious of each other.

As an American I hate it that people in other countries speak against my country. America is a rich country, but there are other rich countries as well. America gives more financial and charitable aid to troubled nations than all the rest of the world's countries combined. That should speak to people about putting our money where our mouth is. Yet, we are constantly maligned and no one speaks of the facts... what their own country doesn't do.

If America didn't do the charitable things we do... who would do it, Japan, Germany, China, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Dubai, Taiwan, etc.? No one would do it, all they do is change the subject and give a pittance (inadequate help) to meet the need. So, they let America do it and then rag on us for whatever reason they can conjure up to get away for putting up (making an effort to really do something).

Also, to clarify... Please note I said,"Radial Islam" not Islam. There is a difference.
