  I don't like americans, just one of millions of people on this planet that don't like them, and all for a variety of very good and valid reasons. But after reading this book I came to an understanding, because now I can see how the inhumanity of a few, how the greed of a few, how the selfishness of a few, and the ignorance of a nation can cause the world to look at that nation with eyes filled with distrust, sadness, and in a lot of cases, hate.
  A must read to everyone, hopefully it wont fill them with hate, but with the will to change the ugliness that has become the USA.
