I beleived much at U.S. side until I began to study at university. I got more
visionary that is not affected by radical propagandics - but by scientific
facts that U.S. doesn't admit. For example, the known "Spain Disease" who took
millions of human lives. We thought the influenza epidemy came from the Spain,
but the further sciences shows that came from sick American soldiers who were
involved in WW1 in 1914-18, and at same time Spain was a closed country like
North Korea. So someone had affected the mass media to say that epidemy was
coming from the Spain. The professor of philosophy said it should renamed as
the "USA Disease", but however it is a forgotten chapter that we cannot do
anything with that. But it will keep us in mind how much the U.S. is to be
trusting. We trusted on the U.S. in Afghanistan and Iraq war, and the U.S.
tackled the scandals well, but we still do not know it will come more new dead
bodies from the closet.

We still have the alliance, and U.S. need that alliance so long the U.S.
Government don't lie for their own folks and their alliances.

If Bush for example lied about the balance when the central government budgets
surprisingly goes in huge deficits, so: How will the voters in capital and
resource strong states as California, Alaska and Texas feel how their taxes
were used? Naturally the confidence will be lost, and if it repeat again... so
you know the consequences.

However, I mean Bush did right for the freedom of Afghanistan and Iraq - and I
never had been in doubt.

I have many friends there, and I stayed at a host family and I looked them as
the most important representant of the U.S. life style. They took time with me,
and handled me with respect. Unfortunatelly, after I left back to Norway from
U.S., they have have (big!) lack of initiative, and I got a more and more
picture of the American people and the frustation is grewing up. They were
saying to me: just take contact with us while I phoned to them, and I sent them
letters without response. I have quitted sending the letters. The same problem
with E-mail too.

I would be more glad if they wrote a letter to me and telling me that they do
not want with me to do anymore! Are you all genereally (in American culture,
tradition, life style) taking care each of other, or are reservated and
shallowed?

If I was lucky with caring peoples, then I would maintain my ties to American.
At starting point, I did not understand peoples with anti-American feelings
- and now, I think I need to hear from them about what and why they have such
feelings .. However, I still give myself a chance to have new respect for the
American peoples, but I feel that doubt.

I write about that because you came with unconditional biases against Norway as
a undemocracy nation because we do have Communist Party, but that party does
not have a place in our parlament today and hence not power in Norway. You did
not answer about the U.S. Communist Party. Hence, i obvoiuslly feel that is
typically American to come with unconditional biases against something they
don't like.
