In the roundup to the Iraq war - where the right wingers was very active even on Norwegian sites - and claiming their was the real americans, and the real ones who supported the President, was the ones who was right - DU was one of the few places you could go to get a perspective on things - to continue the debate about the necessarily of going to war - and if the then administration of mr Bush was sane or not... And the funny thing is -most of them just vaporized in the end - hiding in their own caves.. as the coward they really is..
DU have for me be a place where I could get a whole different perspective of americans - you are not that extreme as some of your right wingers want you to be - most of you are either middle of the road - or want changes to the system NOW... And most of you at least who I have getting to know a little, was right when you was against the war - and was against this horrible, horrible president who destroyed most of what US had of standing - in the 8 year he was in office... He singlehandedly made a mockery of the US, and the damage he did - will last for at least a generation..
Norway is just a little iceland - not even a blimp on the screen of most americans I guess. And I also believe that most of what made us "tick" is maybe not compatible with the US.. The US is WASTE compared to Norway.. But I do hope americans can discover that they can build a just society based on respect and in trust - and the ability to work together to a goal. I'm just a single man in Norway - but I think we have made it pretty good here - even though we might have a few glitches here and there who need to be fixed... (We have a lot of glitches but hey I think we have it under control, of sorts )
Thank you, that you will remember me even after along time - at least the comments - and I have just to repeat myself here. You are not alone - you might se just darkness now - but you have friends all over the world - America are not alone - your "power" is not broken yet.. Stay in there. It will be a better day - down the road - the crazies can not survive forever in power.. Sooner or later, americans will wake up - and understand what horrible crimes have been doing in their name - and react to it... As Churchill once is famous to be quoted - Americans tend to do the right thing - after trying the opposite for a while..
