Dear Fred:
Have you heard the story of three guys who enter a place which was very dark, they were leaning to an elephant ,the first guy touches the legs of the elephant and says” what a hard solid pillar” the second guy touches its ears and says” what a nice big fan” the third guy feels the elephants trunk and says” how big this pipe is” this story is the story of that guy in NY times book review ,he isn’t in the know or maybe he is but whatever, he just sees the tip of the iceberg. Sure, there are some who are “Americanized” and feel and behave that way but ,you gotta believe that the majority of average common people aren’t like that .Sure, the number of boyfriends and girlfriends is increasing but being boyfriends and girlfriends doesn’t mean to perform oral sex on each other except the minority mentioned .feel free to ask any thing. You are most welcomed….would you tell why against a lot of protests to Mr. Bush’s Polices, once again he was elected by Americans? Did Americans elect him consciously? …. Does USA intend to attack Iran seriously? Or just tries to get some privileges by carrot and stick approach? What’s this all fuss about Iran having nukes, Pakistan, India_ you name it_ have nukes and none are bothered by having nukes. Could you tell me why?.... are all American satisfied with their life (are there injustice in your country?) and their government policies?
Thanks for your time,

I totally agree with most of your points. Also, you have asked
some very complex questions, which I'll do my best to answer. First, I am
a Ph.D. in Psychology and this was my subject when I was teaching. Second,
my main complaint against America is that we are a totally materialistic
country. Quite simply, the average American cares mostly about creature
comforts and his knowledge of world history is almost non-existent. Of
course this explains Bush's adventures in the middle east as all he must
do is is scare people about terrorism. We then roll over and endorse all
kinds of stupid actions. On the other hand, 9/11 was a horrible wake-up
call alerting us to the fact that many people despised us and that we are
very vulnerable. We also noticed that Saudi Arabia, supposedly our staunch
ally, produced 15 of the 18 suicide bombers. I'll close with two important
opservations. (1) The U.S. has 800 military bases throughout the world.
Clearly, we are an imperialist power and commit many of the abuses
associated with imperialism. (2) A person cannot understand our
relationship with the middle east without first understanding this history
of OIL. This is the fuel which feeds our burgeoning economic needs and
we'll do whatever it takes to assure a plentiful and cheap supply.
FRED
