Dear Paul,
Thank you for your reply and I do respect your views. I do not with to discuss any longer about such subject in this forum, as it is a forum dedicated to discussions related to theosophy. I think already I sent many posts about it here. The only thing I have to say is that any interference of USA in the Balkans was with interest to establish military basis along with other interests as well and it was far away from a good hearted and compassion intention. I do not wish to offend any brother and sister from USA in this forum. Brazil today is a country deeply influenced by the American way of life. Unfortunately such is based in the disintegration of the most important nucleus of the society which is the family and all the values related to it.
Below I am posting an email sent in BN (Blavatsky Net) sometime ago which I kept in my archives. I removed part of it.
"The U.S. is at this moment developing advanced systems of "weapons of
mass destruction" and it prepared to use them where it sees fit. It
has more of them than the rest of the world put together. It has
walked away from international agreements on biological and chemical
weapons, refusing to allow inspection of its own factories. The
hypocrisy behind its public declarations and its own actions is
almost a joke.
The United States believes that the three thousand deaths in New York
are the only deaths that count, the only deaths that matter. They are
American deaths. Other deaths are unreal, abstract, of no
consequence.
The three thousand [to 300,000] deaths in Afghanistan are never
referred to.
The hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children dead through U.S. and
British sanctions which have deprived them of essential medicines are
never referred to.
The effect of depleted uranium, used by America in the Gulf War, is
never referred to. Radiation levels in Iraq are appallingly high.
Babies are born with no brain, no eyes, no genitals. Where they do
have ears, mouths or rectums, all that issues from these orifices is
blood.
The two hundred thousand deaths in East Timor in 1975 brought about
by the Indonesian government but inspired and supported by the United
States are never referred to.
The half a million deaths in Guatemala, Chile, El Salvador,
Nicaragua, Uruguay, Argentina and Haiti, in actions supported and
subsidised by the United States, are never referred to.
The millions of deaths in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are no longer
referred to.
[Successive Israeli regimes massacred tens of thousands of
Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, Christians and other humans with U.S.
military and financial aid to Israel during 1948 to 2003.] The
desperate plight of the Palestinian people, the central factor in
world unrest, is hardly referred to.
But what a misjudgement of the present and what a misreading of
history this is. People do not forget..."

Dear Erica,
It would be unpatriotic of me to agree with you, but I don't
anyway. The economic and military resources of the USA are being
squandered in short-sighted, ill-conceived adventures in
imperialism. As with the ex-Soviet Union, it is imperial
overreaching rather than external challenges that are destroying our
well-being.

No need to apologize, although I would suggest that Europeans had a
culture of sex without any help from us, long before our inventions
the movies, computers, and television invaded your countries. And
Africa, Asia, and South America have plenty of violence without US
exporting any culture thereof.

If Europeans had dealt with the Balkan crisis without needing US
intervention, it would have done a lot to build European cooperation.
My best wishes for the successful progress of the EU-- which I hope
will not occur at the expense of downtrodden American workers.
Cheers,
Paul
