I was born in Brazil, I live in Portugal, and I've lived in the
US.
One thing I've learned in my life is that individual people are NOT
their country or government. Every country has its share of stupid,
bigoted, intolerant people. On the other hand, fortunately, there
are also wonderful, intelligent, good-hearted people everywhere
around the globe.
Unfortunately, through the incoherent, misguided foreign and
domestic policies of the US government, everyday it's becoming more
difficult for the reasonable, tolerant Americans to make themselves
heard. The loud noise of intolerance is drowning the voices of
reason.
I'm not saying that every other country has perfect policies,
because they don't. But the choices taken by the American
government since the 2001 terrorist attacks only serve the
interests of a small group of Bush supporters and will cost the
American people a lot in the future.
