Well, we are all entitled to our own opinion but just let me clarify a few things for you Anton:
In my first article, I never said the USA doesn't have ANY blood on it's hands, just less than other countries. I guess it all depends on the way you look at it and where you were raised though. I do write aggressively and that's what has provoked so many responses from people. The whole idea of this article is to present a different, controversial viewpoint and to hopefully have some good letters pour in from angry readers. As far as I'm concerned, I've been doing my job right. Another thing: there is no confusion here, all my points and beliefs are genuine and real. I have thought through all the things I have said and I stand by them. With special regard to the religion one, let me just say this: I believe you have the right to practice any religion you want, it's prefectly fine by me, but I don't have to agree with it. Finally, I'd like to comment on the letters that have come in from other people: most of their points have been either off-base or totally taken out of context. Furthermore, most of their responses don't even address what I originally wrote! They love to go off on tangents, which is what my article this week is about...
