Zenaan,

   USA killed great part of my dad's family.  They used nuclear weapons to
   destroy lifes and cities.  Japan was already deeply destroied when they
   decided to test their nuclear bombs.  My dad's family used to live in
   Hiroshima.  You know what happened with them.

   My mom always says it was racism, that US probably would use the bombs
   in some oriental country or in Africa anyway, because oriental people
   and black people are always considered inferior people there.  They are
   not Caucasian, they are different physically, they have different ways
   of being, beliefs, religions, food, etc.

   Well, the problem is not North American prejudice, but all the
   prejudices.  All the people have difficulties to understand, to accept
   and to respect differences, to manage their personal references.

   USA and Germany used the war as an excuse to test their new toys
   playing with human lifes.  Japan, Italy, England, France, all the other
   countries didn't do the same just because they had not 'new toys' or
   they probably had played with them in a cruel way too.

   The problem was not the country, but all the wars.  There are lots of
   good people in all the countries, in all the places.  A country is not
   a villain or the good guy, Zenaan.  Russia is not better than USA.
   They are different countries and have different backgrounds.  Both
   deserves respect.

   It would not be rational to hate USA for killing my family.  Lots of
   people there also lost their families in that stupid and cruel war.  I
   need to hate all the wars,governments, bad people, cruelty and lies,
   not USA.

   (Certainly, mosquitos too.  Maybe also Vegemite.)

   Take care, everybody!  Have a lovely weekend and lots of love and fun!
   <3

   happiness when, some years ago, I told her about my North American Jew
   boyfriend, haha!!  ;D
