Right choices

Hello.

It seems to me that the people of the United States are in a predicament because of some bad choices, especially in the recent past.

The government's propaganda machine seems to be positioning itself for some more awfully wrong choices--and since the economy is rapidly deteriorating and the "war" or whatever the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan is called is spreading to other "enemy" countries such as Iran and even China--these choices could bring a lot of misery to a lot of people.

Even though the USA, since world war two, has held a strong place in the world, I think it is now important, even very important, to act in concert with the opinions and plans of other countries. It is not a good time to go it alone.

One of the wisest of the world's living statesmen, the Dalai Lama, has suggested in his book “How to See Yourself as you really Are” that “The UN must become the chief instrument of world peace; it is the only source of hope for the small. Oppressed nations and hence for the planet as a whole.”

I hope you have a good and productive day.
