I invite you to consider that you share the planet we all live on with other nations - where does all of this world-hatred - an illness of the awareness, really - where does it come from? Have you all swallowed that jingoistic, nationalistic bile so completely? God, they have done a number on your minds. |
1) Why do you assume self-interest equals "world-hatred"?
2) Is it so unusual for a government to pursue an agenda that attempts to further its own interests?
3) Can you list examples of governments that have the interests of "all of this world" at heart?
